COSHH Exposure Monitoring
Our safety consultants have carried out a huge number of COSHH monitoring exercises for our clients. From a high-tech electronics company to a sawmill, we've been there and done it. Listed below are some of the more popular sampling programmes we complete ordered by industry type;
- Welding fume exposure (consumables for mild, stainless steel, galvanised metals, alloys, etc);
- Solder fume exposure (rosin, fluxes);
- Wood dusts (soft woods and hard woods);
- Silica (respirable crystalline silica);
- Solvent exposure (xylene, toluene and many others);
- Isocyanate exposure (MDI, TDI, etc);
- Kerosene exposure (automotive tests, fuel injector systems);
- Potting compounds using in manufacture;
- Solvent based paints;
- IAQ - Indoor Air Quality (PM2.5, PM10 particulate testing; Temperature, CO, CO2, relative humidity and barometric measurements and data logging). Often linked to SBS (sick building syndrome);
- Isocyanurates from powder paints and similar substances;
- Lead exposure (working with lead, lead solder and welding);
- Silver solder (cadmium and non cadmium);
- Styrene exposure (boat and mould manufacture using resins and fibreglass);
- Tributyl phosphates and triphenyl phosphates (often used as anti-foaming agents in light hydraulic oils used in military aerospace and large jets such as the A380).
Remember, these are just some of the substances which we sample for and specific clients in industries such as aerospace have their own individual needs which we are able to cater for - if a substance isn't listed our safety consultants can still help.
