Cirrus Environmental Solutions Ltd has considerable experience in the field of air quality monitoring and assessment.
Our staff are qualified to undertake COSHH compliance monitoring and assessment, and are able to provide the following services:
Determination
of employee exposure to airborne contaminants
Measurement
of ambient levels of airborne contaminants
Pinpointing
hot spots and assessing significant sources of contaminants
Evaluation
of potential risk to human health
Assessment
of efficiency of engineering (local exhaust ventilation) and process control measures
Investigation
of specific air quality issues or concerns
Monitoring of Airborne Hazardous Substances
All hazardous substances must be assessed for risk to human health.
Monitoring of airborne substances is required where:
- there could be serious risk to health if control measures failed or deteriorated
- exposure limits may be exceeded
- control measures might not be working efficiently
Assessing the Level of Compliance
Using a combination of traditional analytical and real-time instrumental monitoring techniques, we are able to compare personal exposures with both long and short-term exposure limits as specified in HSE, ACGHIH, OSHA, NIOSH publications.
From this we can assess the level of compliance with COSHH. Our state of the art equipment allows us to measure:
DEEE’s (diesel engine exhaust emissions)
lead or other heavy metals
respirable fibre
acid mists
explosive gases
organic vapours
bacterial loading (airborne microbes)
Our interpretive reports not only discuss the findings from monitoring and thorough site observations, but give full recommendations on remedial actions where required. Should we encounter any air quality issues on site, we are confident that we can offer a sensible and practical solution, every time.
