A Guideline for the Evaluation & Control of Diesel Particulate in the Occupational Environment By: Alan Rogers & Brian Davies Description: The purpose of this guideline is to provide readers with an overview of the current status in respect to diesel particulate and to provide guidance on proven monitoring and control technologies for the workplace. Much of the basic investigative work has been reported from overseas studies and considerable refinement and successful application have been made in Australian industry over the last 15 years, and this is presented and referenced in this document. As the underground mining industry has been the focus of much research (due to potentially higher exposures), much of the detail of this document is mining based, however application to other industrial situations should, in most cases, be similar.

Heat Stress Standard & Documentation Developed for Use in the Australian Environment By: Ross DiCorleto, Ian Firth & Gerry Coles Description: The human body must maintain its internal temperature within a very narrow range to achieve a state of well being. The actual level of this temperature is a function of the balance between heat exchange with the external thermal environment and the generation of heat internally by the metabolic processes associated with life and activity. Heat stress is the net heat load to which a worker may be exposed from the combined contributions of metabolic cost of work, environmental factors (i.e., air temperature, humidity, air movement and radiant heat exchange) and clothing requirements. The effects of excessive heat exposures can upset this balance and result in a compromise of safety, efficiency and productivity losses, which precede more serious heat injuries. The effects of exposure to heat may range from a level of discomfort through to a life threatening condition such as heat stroke. Download order form.
