What Is Workplace Air Monitoring
Workplace air monitoring is the process of measuring airborne contaminants in a work environment to evaluate employee exposure and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. It identifies harmful substances, such as irritants, sensitizers, and carcinogens, that could pose serious risks to employee health. Workplace air monitoring requirements are usually determined following risk assessments carried out under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002.

Protect Your Workforce with Effective Air Quality Monitoring
Non-compliance with air quality regulations poses serious health risks for employees and potential legal issues for businesses. Element’s workplace air monitoring services help organizations meet COSHH and other safety standards by providing accurate measurements of airborne hazards. Using UK MDHS guidelines and international standards (NIOSH, BS EN ISO, OSHA), our skilled occupational hygienists deploy precision-calibrated equipment to sample air from personal breathing zones and static locations. Analyzed at ISO-accredited labs, these samples are compared against Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs), ensuring compliance and protecting your team.
Mitigate Airborne Hazards to Safeguard Your Team
Airborne contaminants like dust, fumes, and chemicals threaten employee health and workplace efficiency. Our occupational hygienists undertake monitoring using the latest equipment, which is calibrated pre and post sampling. Using portable pumps known volumes of air are drawn through sample media positioned in an individual’s breathing zone or for background measurements fixed in static locations with subsequent analysis for individual airborne contaminants. All sample analytical work is undertaken at ISO accredited analytical laboratories that participate in the externally audited proficiency schemes.
