Department of Defence - Inorganic Lead Awareness Package
CAPT Sharryn Batt has served in the Preventative Health Department at Campbell Barracks for about five years as both a civilian and as an Army Reservist. CAPT Batt’s initiative and motivation have made an outstanding improvement to the management of the health risks presented by inorganic lead at Campbell Barracks.
SOCOMD’s Indoor Weapons Ranges are located at Campbell Barracks and Luscombe Field, Holsworthy. Since both facilities were built, the health risks presented by the inorganic lead dust and fumes generated by the activity of the firing ranges have become better understood as a result of formal surveys.
As a personal initiative, CAPT Batt conducted a review of the blood testing program at Campbell Barracks to determine if an effective monitoring, review and counselling process is applied. Her review found significant deficiencies. As a result, she has developed and implemented an education program covering the personal risk management of lead.
CAPT Batt’s work arose from outstanding personal initiative and her absolute commitment to protect the health of SOCOMD’s personnel.
