Air sampling is a critical aspect of industrial hygiene and safety at work.
Analysis of airborne contaminants at workplace is carried out to assess workers’ exposure to hazardous substances. This process helps in assessing the potential exposure risks to workers wellbeing and implementing control measures to mitigate these risks.
This is done in 3-methods
Personal Sampling: Done by attaching a sampling device to a worker’s clothing to measure their exposure to airborne contaminants during their work shift.
Area Sampling: Air sampling to measure the concentration of airborne contaminants in specific areas.
Direct-reading Instruments: The devices provide real-time measurements of airborne contaminants, allowing for immediate identification of hazardous conditions.
