He can deliver results through the use of exceptional technical skills in occupational hygiene monitoring, extensive regulatory knowledge and OHS experience.
Mr. Prasad is passionate about the health and safety of Fijian workforce since an occupational hygiene evaluation is the way forward for many workplaces in resolving biopsychosocial issues. He is working hard to ensure that occupational hygiene measurements and evaluations are taken up by Fijian workplaces to mitigate risk and attain compliance to OHS.
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.”

Occupational Hygiene
An occupational hygienist is a person who is professionally qualified by education, training and experience to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and develop controls for occupational health hazards and environmental issues.
Occupational Hygiene Consultancy Services offers professional and independent service in occupational hygiene in line with approved standards and best practices internationally. To effectively control exposure of hazardous contaminants or occupational stressors in workplaces, it is imperative to measure environmental contaminants and exposures in line with approved standards to compare with threshold values where applicable.
According to Paracelsus “No substance is a poison by itself, it is the dose that makes a substance a poison” (1540).
With Rohith’s engagement in assessing, monitoring and evaluating hazardous environments, a suitably qualified and competent person will provide integrity for the desired occupational hygiene and OHS service.
OHCS only uses hygiene monitoring instruments that are calibrated and certified by NATA accredited laboratory.
