How do I choose a rubber fume exposure monitoring provider?

When choosing a provider, look for the following:

• Relevant experience – Have they worked with rubber manufacturing or similar environments?

• Qualified professionals – Ideally BOHS-registered occupational hygienists

• Accredited lab services – To ensure sample analysis is reliable and recognised by regulators

• Clear reporting – Can they explain the results in plain language and advise on next steps?

• Compliance knowledge – They should understand COSHH and HSE expectations

Also consider their responsiveness and whether they offer follow-up support, like help implementing controls or presenting results to stakeholders.

A good provider doesn’t just collect data — they help you act on it.
