Workplace Exposure

    Measure what your team is actually breathing — and act on it.

    Independent personal exposure monitoring across the substances that drive COSHH risk: dusts, fumes, vapours, biological agents and engine emissions. Defensible data, prioritised actions, no theatre.

    Workplace Exposure — at a glance

    • COSHH-grade evidence

      Personal sampling against the relevant WEL or binding limit — defensible to the HSE, insurers and audit committees.

    • People, not corners

      We sample the breathing zone of the people most at risk, not a generic site average.

    • Controls, honestly assessed

      Independent review of LEV, RPE and ventilation — what's working, what isn't, what to fix first.

    • Action-led reporting

      Every report ends in a prioritised, costed action plan you can budget and defend.
