We provide comprehensive workplace air quality testing and air monitoring for customers throughout the UK, using HSE and British Standards recommended sampling methods.
Occupational Air Testing, Protecting Health
We carry out workplace air monitoring to identify employee personal exposure in their breathing area and behind their respiratory protective equipment, as well as background levels of hazardous dusts, fumes, vapours and gases to help ensure worker health protection.
Breathing in certain dusts, gases, fumes and vapours in the workplace can cause serious long term lung damage and death. The working environment must be properly controlled with indoor air monitoring to keep workers, and other people exposed, safe.
Latus Group occupational hygienists provide the science behind minimising the risk of ill health due to workplace exposure.
How to monitor air quality in the workplace?
Our Occupational Hygienist will contact you to discuss your needs, understand your processes and ensure that all key substances you use are monitored. They will then develop a programme for air hygiene monitoring prior to the session.
- Both static and personal dose air sample measurements will be taken as appropriate
- Occupational Hygienist stays on site observing employees and carrying out indoor air monitoring – this is an essential part to identify your action plan to reduce exposure
- Workplace air quality testing – Frequently observe other sources of contamination your employees may be exposed to – exposure through absorption, ingestion and injection
- Provide primary advice on Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) and share good practice with you from related industries
What air monitoring reports do I get?
- The indoor air monitoring samples are sent to UKAS accredited laboratory for testing
- A report is provided and includes the actual air quality results, observations, recommendations and your action plan
- Our occupational hygienist will contact you to discuss the contents of the report to ensure that you understand the contents, are satisfied with the outcome and know ‘what’s next’.
