CLIENT SUPPORT

OHMS Hygiene is pleased to have supported our clients and mining community by sponsoring the following client and community events.

The Northern Australian Emergency Response Competition recreates realistic life-like emergency scenarios for teams to test their emergency response techniques and capabilities in firefighting, rescue from heights, hazardous materials, breathing apparatus search and rescue, first aid, road accident rescue and, as an optional extra underground search and rescue for those experienced in underground rescue. A theory exam is also conducted to test basic principles and methods.
The Goldfields Underground Mine Emergency Response Competition sees mines’ rescue teams from the region compete in simulated underground emergency situations with the ultimate goal of improving emergency response skills and knowledge.
The Goldfields Surface Mine Emergency Response Competition sees mines’ rescue teams complete nine challenging scenarios designed to improve emergency response skills and knowledge: team skills, confined space rescue, fire-fighting, vehicle extrication, rope rescue, hazardous chemicals, first aid, incident management scenario and a theory assessment.

Supporting the occupational hygiene community is also important to OHMS Hygiene, as such we support the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) and Workplace Health Without Borders.

One of our Directors, Elaine Lindars, is a long-time supporter of the AIOH by helping teach the Hygiene Basic Principles Course in WA for many years, by being on the organising committee for Perth Conferences, reviewing AIOH text books and being on some AIOH committees. Elaine has also worked with Workplace Health Without Borders, travelling to Vietnam to teach the Basic Principles Course in Hanoi, and helping with setting up the Australian branch.
