Vapour and Dust Monitoring
If dust or vapours are an issue in your workplace then you have a legal responsibility
to ensure that the levels to which your employees are exposed do not exceed the working exposure limits and that exposure is minimised. Use of personal protection equipment should only be considered after other possible control methods.As part of your risk
assessment under COSHH, airborne monitoring of dust or vapours may be
required to establish the exposure levels your staff are experiencing. Always consider montoring dust or vapour levels
before embarking on expensive engineering
controls which may not be necessary if exposure levels are well within limits.
NWMS use sampling equipment from SKC and have been trained by SKC in airborne monitoring techniques. All samples that we take are sent for analysis in a UKAS certified laboratory and our sampling comes complete with these results and a full written report with recommendations.
