With the up and coming revision of HSG 248 and the continual renewal of the Removal Contractors Licence to work with Licensable materials, the HSE are emphasising the requirement for personal air sampling and the need to collect accurate and useful information.
The effectiveness and value of the personal air monitoring will be enhanced by the correct planning by the contractor, sufficient sampling duration, adequate documentation of the activities being monitored, the removal contractor selecting a range of removal techniques and materials with the correct analysis and future use of the data.
With this in mind, Envirochem are working closely with the industry and enhancing their paperwork to capture the required information to allow the licensed contractor to adhere to the guidelines set by the HSE. For more information on how we can assist you for personal air sampling requirements, please call us or fill in the form below.

As part of our recent overseas trip to the local Channel Island of Guernsey, additional sampling took place which involved passive VOC badges and respirable dust monitoring. The monitoring were all personal samples, conducted on employees to analysis their exposure around the different generators and within the boiler rooms. The portable gas detection monitor was also used for short term analysis to measure the gas content within the exhaust fumes produced when the generators’ are first switched on.
All analysis was then conducted back in the UK at the Fareham based office, and a report was generated to compare the values analysed to the workplace exposure limit for the compounds detected: using EH40 limits. If you require monitoring for air quality please contact Envirochem for more information. Or if you have concerns and advice, we can use our operative’s experiences and knowledge to advise the type of sampling required for your site.

A recent overseas trip to the local Channel Island of Guernsey was carried out to monitor air quality at a site which used diesel based engines. The main testing was using portable particulate monitors which were set up in four different locations to measure PM2.5, PM10 and other airborne particles. They were set up and run statically in the same place for a week, recording any measurements picked up.
The analysis was then conducted back in the UK at the Fareham based office, with graphs and tables used to demonstrate the values detected against both the EH40 workplace exposure limits and the ambient air quality standards.
If you require monitoring for air quality please contact Envirochem for more information. Or if you have concerns and advice, we can use our operative’s experiences and knowledge to advise the type of sampling required for your site.
