Hazardous Substances

With strong experience in handling corrosive and explosive substances including gases, powders, gels, liquids and HCBs , if your business requires materials handling of hazardous substances, Australis has the expertise to manage your risk through intelligent, innovative design of a materials handling solution that will allow you to meet production goals without jeopadising safety.

Designed to minimise risk

When dealing with hazardous substances we understand that the health and safety of your employees and plant are of the utmost importance. One little spark within the equipment or from poorly chosen materials that generate static can end in disaster. Our experience in hazardous substance materials handling will ensure that where appropriate, we select materials that are anti-static, corrosion resistant, that solutions use pneumatics instead of electrics or that the equipment itself is designed to eliminate the risk associated with handling your substance.  Let us help you design a solution to minimise these risks but maintain your productive output. Our team of highly experienced engineers have successfully delivered materials handling solutions for hazardous substances including:

Solutions

Providing innovative solutions to health clients is a core part of our business, with a track record of successfully delivering major projects to clients across Australia. This experience means Australis can provide you with a diverse range of solutions specifically tailored for hazardous substances. Our materials handling and automation solutions include:

ISO Quality Assurance and Risk Management Certification

   

To ensure your solution receives the highest levels of quality assurance, Australis is certified to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System and ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management Standard. Why is this important? As a result of these certifications, you can be assured that during quoting, design, manufacture, installation and servicing of your equipment, Australis will ensure the highest levels of quality assurance are implemented and maintained to ensure your equipment meets any or all standards associated with handling your product.

Does quality and risk reduction come at a cost? We think this is the wrong question, in a manufacturing environment such as hazardous substances where the risk of liability is significantly higher than for other manufacturers. The real question is, do quality and risk management represent value for money? While our solutions might be a fraction more expensive than cheaper imports or those produced by competitors without experience in handling hazardous substances, we firmly believe that having rigorous quality assurance and risk management procedures in place during the design and manufacture of your equipment will ultimately cost our customers less in the long run, whether its reduced downtime, lower running costs, improved servicing, improved safety or a faster return on investment - our solutions represent outstanding value for money and will cost you less in the long term.
