What does a wood dust monitoring report include?

A good report should include:

• A clear summary of exposure results

• Photos of the sampling setup and equipment

• Details of each task monitored

• Lab analysis results for inhalable dust

• Comparison against WELs

• Assessment of current controls (LEV, PPE, housekeeping)

• Practical recommendations for improvement

The goal isn’t just to give numbers — it’s to explain what they mean and how to reduce exposure further. Many workshops find that small tweaks, like adjusting hood positions or improving cleaning routines, make a big difference.
