Editor's Notes
- A bit about me.. Grew up in Coromandel with exposure to the farming and commercial fishing industry (father’s boat; parents shifting sheep) practical background BSc at Auckland On completion of degree I started working at Air Matters in 2011 after a fortunate conversation with a friend of my flatmate that resulted in a day of shadowing him on site to see what he got up to 9-5 in air testing. This turned into casual then full time employment. I’ve been there for 3 years now and am very lucky to have been awarded a scholarship to attend the occupational hygiene conference in Melbourne later this year.
- I thoroughly enjoy being able to carry out practical science that provides quality, independent and useful data written into a report for comparison with the WES advice on appropriate PPE and suggestions for basic engineering controls to reduce harmful exposure when appropriate. I also relish the opportunity to get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes workings of society that is industry. from wine bottling plants & dairy companies to recycling centres, paint shops & engineering workshops
