These are a statutory requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, designed to ensure ongoing management of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the workplace.
We’ll carry out periodic inspections to reassess the condition of known ACMs, confirm that they remain undisturbed and in a safe state, and verify that control measures remain effective. Where necessary, we can also conduct air monitoring to detect any release of airborne asbestos fibres.
These reassessments are crucial for maintaining compliance, updating asbestos management plans, and protecting your workers from long-term health risks such as mesothelioma and asbestosis.
We can monitor the quality of water used or discharged in your workplace.
Through our testing, we can help identify potential chemical, biological, or physical contaminants (such as heavy metals, pathogens, or pH imbalances) that could pose risks to the health of your workers or the environment and ensure compliance with environmental legislation and workplace safety standards, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, food processing, and waste management.
Regular testing ensures that your control measures are effective, helps prevent exposure to hazardous substances, and demonstrates due diligence in protecting both employees and the wider community.
Through Bulk Sampling we can identify and assess hazardous substances within solid materials found in your workplace. We do this by collecting samples of materials (such as insulation, dust, or debris) for laboratory analysis to determine the presence and concentration of harmful agents like asbestos, lead, or respirable crystalline silica.
This can help you to remain compliant with regulations (such as COSHH and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012) and plays a key role in risk assessments, helping to inform appropriate control measures and protect your workers from long-term health risks associated with exposure to hazardous substances.
A key tool used to assess whether workplace lighting is adequate, safe, and compliant with relevant standards such as HSG38 and BS EN 12464-1. We can evaluate factors like light intensity (lux levels), uniformity, glare, and colour rendering across different work areas to ensure that lighting supports both visual comfort and task performance.
Poor lighting can contribute to accidents, eye strain, fatigue, and reduced productivity, so regular assessments help identify areas needing improvement and support compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. We can advise you on decisions around lighting upgrades, maintenance, and control measures to create a safer, more efficient working environment for you and your staff.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in enclosed spaces. Exposure to it is a significant health risk, being the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
Under the ‘Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17)’ and the ‘Health and Safety at Work Act 1974’, employers are required to assess radon risks in workplaces, especially if located in designated ‘radon affected areas’ (RAA) or if they include regularly occupied below-ground spaces.
Our testing typically involves placing passive detectors for at least three months to measure average radon levels. If concentrations exceed 300 Bq/m³, mitigation measures, such as improved ventilation or radon sump systems, must be implemented to reduce exposure and ensure legal compliance.
