Workplace Air & Dust Monitoring

Workplace Exposure NI have staff qualified in measuring workplace air/dust and can undertake this assessment for you.

Exposure to gases and dust in the workplace can harm the health of employees. Workplace air sampling measures the exposure of your staff to gases and dust. Exposure to these gases and dust in the air, if not controlled properly, can cause ill health in lots of ways.

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) Regulation 7 place a duty on employers, as part of their COSHH assessment, to stop or control the exposure of staff to dust and gases at work. In particular, Regulation 10 sets a duty to carry out workplace air monitoring to measure these exposures.

Workplace Air Monitoring is important to ensure that exposures are controlled and protects you and your employees from the consequences of ill health.
