Who can apply for registration?
To be registered as a hygiene sampler, a person must provide proof of qualification as a surface ventilation technician or surface ventilation officer. If these course(s) have not been undertaken, a person may apply citing their relevant qualification or experience related to occupational hygiene to meet competency requirements.
Hygiene registration lasts for five years. Re-registration will only be approved if evidence of current competency in air-monitoring skills is provided.
Required information
The completed and signed form must be lodged with a copy of the certificate(s) for:
- surface ventilation technician
or
- surface ventilation officer
including the course date(s).
Without the complete information, a sampler will not be registered to submit results into the Health and Hygiene system.
If seeking registration without these qualifications, please complete the application form and provide a work history stating relevant experience (e.g. places, dates, activities, responsibilities). The form and supporting documentation should be emailed directly to the Hygiene Manager.
