Hazardous substance exposure assessment

In companies where employees may be exposed to hazardous substances—through inhalation or skin contact—systematic testing is not optional, but essential. Without insight into the actual exposure levels, risks cannot be properly assessed and measures cannot be implemented in a targeted manner. This leads to unnecessary health risks and exposes your organization to legal liability. A professional assessment in accordance with NEN-EN689 provides clarity: are the measured values safe, or are additional measures necessary? This investigation forms the basis for working responsibly with hazardous substances and protects both your employees and your organization.

Procedure

• On-site orientation — The researcher visits your organization and determines the most suitable sampling and analysis methods based on the nature and extent of the exposure.
• Measurement and analysis — Exposure measurements are carried out in accordance with NEN-EN689 and compared with applicable limit values.
• Reporting — A written report describes the investigation, presents the results, draws conclusions, and provides concrete recommendations for follow-up measures.

Conclusion and benefits
You will receive a definitive answer as to whether the measured values are within or outside the safe limits. This gives you control over the risk and enables you to take targeted measures — or to confirm that current working methods are safe. For your employees, this means clarity and protection of their health.
