Workplace Air Monitoring:
Our consultancy branch – Spectrum Environment Support (SES) offers Workplace air monitoring assessments to provide vital information about the levels of airborne dust and chemical vapours that employees may be exposed to within the workplace. The information obtained from monitoring assessments enable organisations to assess and control exposure risks in line with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH Regulations 2002) .
COSHH air monitoring surveys can be designed on a site-specific basis to demonstrate that hazardous substances within the working environment are below all the current workplace exposure limits (WEL’s).
Benefits of COSSHH Air Monitoring Surveys:
- Compliance with COSHH & Workplace exposure limits (WEL’s).
- Verifying that control measures reduce exposure to safe legal levels.
- Informing employers to select respiratory protective equipment with the correct protection factor .
