Environmental Health Workshops for Workplaces, Organisations & Festivals

Engaging, science-based workshops connecting human health, the built environment, waste and everyday environmental practices.

DISCUSS A WORKSHOP

Where environmental health meets everyday life

Environmental health is about more than compliance. It considers how the places we work, the products we use, the waste we generate and the environments we create can affect both human health and the wider environment.

Led by Environmental Health Scientist Taisa Baars, each workshop translates complex science and environmental requirements into practical, relevant actions people can understand and use.

Workshops can be developed for:

• Corporate teams and professional organisations

• Workplaces and staff development programs

• Festivals and community events

• Schools and education programs

• Councils and environmental initiatives

• Health, wellbeing and sustainability events

More than a sustainability presentation

Taisa brings together professional experience in environmental health, wastewater, buildings, contaminated land, waste management and regulatory assessment.

This wider perspective allows workshops to explore the connections between human health, environmental exposure, workplace practices, buildings, products and waste—without fear-based messaging, greenwashing or unrealistic advice.

Each session is:

• Scientifically informed

• Practical and engaging

• Tailored to the audience

• Grounded in real environmental health experience

• Designed to create achievable change

Modern Environmental Exposure and Health

Our everyday environments can expose us to a complex mixture of chemicals through food, drinking water, indoor air, dust, personal-care products, household materials, workplaces and consumer goods.

These workshops explore how exposure occurs, why certain life stages may be more vulnerable, and the practical steps individuals and organisations can take to reduce avoidable exposure.

Topics may include:

• Modern chemical exposure and everyday sources

• Indoor air quality, moisture and mould

• Plastics, packaging, waste and consumer products

• PFAS and other persistent chemicals

• Personal-care and household products

• Environmental exposures during pregnancy

• Children’s environmental health

• Endocrine-disrupting chemicals

• Occupational and workplace exposure

• Practical exposure-reduction strategies

• Understanding risk without fear or misinformation

Environmental health—not wellness trends

Led by Environmental Health Scientist Taisa Baars, the workshops combine environmental health science with practical experience across buildings, water, wastewater, contamination, waste and regulatory investigation.

Rather than labelling everything “toxic” or promoting unrealistic detox claims, Taisa explains:

• Where meaningful exposures can occur

• Who may be more vulnerable and why

• The difference between hazard and actual risk

• Which changes are likely to make the greatest difference

• How to reduce exposure without fear or perfection
