Minerals Environmental Services

Intertek accredited environmental laboratories support the minerals industry with a range of water, soil and air testing to governmental, regulatory and industry standards.

Intertek laboratories provide quality environmental testing services to the government and mining sectors, assisting clients with the collection and analysis of a range of samples to determine if maximum allowable limits have been exceeded for a variety of parameters. Most countries have regulations in place to protect natural environments from the impacts of pollution, and guidelines to monitor exposure of workers to various physical, chemical and biological hazards which may be encountered in the workplace.  Local Intertek laboratories offer a proven understanding of government and environmental requirements and work with clients to manage their compliance.
