Personal Air Monitoring assesses the exposure of workers to airborne contaminants in their immediate breathing zone within the workplace. This process involves sampling and analyzing air samples collected from the worker’s breathing zone to measure the concentration of specific contaminants. The assessment aims to identify potential health risks associated with exposure, assess compliance with regulatory exposure limits, estimate the duration and frequency of exposure, and characterise the overall risk to worker health.

Conducting Personal Air Monitoring is critical for preventing occupational illnesses by accurately
quantifying worker exposure to hazardous airborne substances. It provides essential data for developing effective exposure control strategies, including engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, this assessment guides decision-making regarding workplace ventilation, process modifications, and worker training to minimise exposure risks effectively. It also plays a crucial role in promoting worker health and safety by ensuring that exposure levels are within safe limits and supporting informed decision-making and regulatory compliance in the workplace. exposures reaching the worker’s breathing zone e.g. Welding fumes,Silica,Asbestos,BTEX Or Any chemical of concern
