Regulation 10 of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH Regulations) speaks to the duty placed on employers pertaining to “Monitoring exposure at the workplace”.

With particulates it’s not always immediately obvious whether there is a risk to the health of employees. More often than not, dangerous levels of exposure to particulate matter are regularly invisible to the human eye.

Furthermore, monitoring will provide a better understanding of when, where and why exposure is occurring.

Failure or deterioration of the control measures could result in a serious health effect, so regular or continuous monitoring is critical to ensure no changes have occurred to mitigate the controls. Direct reading monitoring technology is also the best possible short-term measure to evaluate the effectiveness of control measures.

Demonstrating duty of care to your employees and visitors by investing in monitoring is a positive way to influence Health and Safety culture.
