Airborne Contaminant Surveys


By conducting air monitoring activities, airborne contaminants can be quantified in order to select or confirm exposure control measures.  Chemicals and particulates in the workplace can pose acute and chronic health hazards to workers.  Compliance with specific standards is mandatory for businesses and manufacturers in order to prevent overexposure.  We help companies develop monitoring plans, implement best practices, conduct monitoring requirements for your specific industry.

Noise Control Surveys

We offer noise surveys and studies for determination of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) noise limit compliance in the workplace. the OSHA noise limits permit employees to be exposed to an average noise level of up to 90 dBA during an 8-hour working day. For 8-hour exposure of 85 dBA, precautions are required to protect employees, including a hearing conservation program and noise monitoring program. OSHA regulations permit assessment of noise levels in two ways:

  • Personal Sampling using sound dosimeters attached to employees. This technique is generally used when workers have high mobility and are exposed to varying noise levels.
  • Area sampling with the use of sound level meters to measure noise in work areas. The noise exposure of workers in calculated based on the time spent in the areas measured.
  • HST can give you direction on the type of monitoring applicable to your application and control measures best suited for your company.
