Chemical Exposure Monitoring / Air Quality Testing
Occupational Hygiene is the discipline of anticipating, recognising, evaluating and controlling health hazards in the working environment with the objective of protecting worker health and well-being.
It is an important part of a company’s health and safety management system.
Employers are obliged to implement a programme of technical and organisational measures to reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals in accordance with the relevant Code of Practice for the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Chemical Agents) Regulations 2001 (S.I. No. 619 of 2001).
Monitoring may be carried out to ensure workers protection, confirm base line exposure, check adequacy of controls as part of routine checks or legal requirements etc.
Monitoring can give vital information regarding workers exposure to hazardous agents such as chemical vapours, fumes, gases and dust etc. in the workplace.
