Workplace Exposure Monitoring

Workplace Exposure Monitoring

Our workplace exposure monitoring will ensure that you fulfil your COSHH obligations wherever your staff are exposed to hazardous substances in your hospital.

Workplace Exposure Monitoring Report

Our industry accredited consultants manage the work for you, and because we employ both continuous monitoring and personal sampling techniques, we can demonstrate how levels in the workplace atmosphere vary over the period of monitoring. This enables us to provide a comprehensive report including discussions and recommendations based upon our findings.

COSHH Monitoring & WELs

Benefits of Cairn Technology Workplace Exposure Monitoring:

  • You’ll get feedback on the performance of your workplace against workplace exposure limits immediately
  • We analyse concentrations of a number of different chemicals simultaneously: get accurate nitrous oxide and volatile anaesthetic agent results together – invaluable when low flows are used
  • We can measure concentrations of a large range of chemicals e.g. nitrous oxide and anaesthetic agents, formaldehyde and xylene, peracetic acid/chlorine dioxide/other high level disinfection agents
  • Our equipment analyses up to 90 samples of air every hour, which is ideal for monitoring short term exposure to chemicals
  • You’ll get incredibly in-depth information about your peak levels and recommendations for improvement
  • We’ll carry out a detailed investigation of the workplace to identify any leaks, faulty equipment or potential for improved working practice
  • We’ll supply a quality, professional report that clearly explains what we did, what we found and what our recommendations are for further action
  • You can be confident that any problems have been identified and that your hospital is complying with COSHH Regulations

Continuous Monitoring and Personal Sampling

When required, we also combine our continuous workplace exposure monitoring with personal sampling to provide a complete workplace monitoring solution.​

Personal sampling provides information about individual staff member exposure during their working day. We use this technique to assess exposure in areas where continuous monitoring may not be appropriate, such as delivery suites and recovery areas.
