Scope
Envirochem attended the site in Segensworth and alongside the site supervisor identified areas where employees could be exposed to inhalable and respirable dusts, volatile organic compounds and oil mists. Airbox sampling pumps were set up in static locations and on employees and SKC charcoal passive sampling badges were also set up on employees in areas where there is likely to be exposure to volatile organics. Oil mist filters are weighed gravimetrically and washed with cyclohexane, dried and reweighed to determine if any oil is present.
The results of the occupational hygiene assessment can be used to inform employers as to whether specific personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for their employees to work safely in these conditions and to be used as part of a control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH) assessment.
How we Helped
Location:
New Forest
Service:
Environmental Water Sampling - Lake
Project Description:
Envirochem first visited the lake to identify and prioritise the high risk outlet points.
Project Scope:
Several samples were taken from the designated sampling locations to monitor and measure the water quality as they carry out sport activities in the lake.
The results must comply with the EC Bathing Water directive 2006/7/EC as their compulsory implementation started in December 2014.
