Workplace Air Quality and VOC Testing FAQs
What are VOCs and how do they impact our regulatory compliance?
VOCs are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature, meaning they easily enter the air. Failure to monitor and control these can lead to OSHA citations, increased liability, and potential health issues for your workforce.
What standards or exposure limits exist for VOCs?
Exposure limits are set by various bodies, including OSHA (Permissible Exposure Limits), NIOSH (Recommended Exposure Limits), and ACGIH (Threshold Limit Values). We evaluate your levels against these specific benchmarks.
How often should our building be tested for VOCs?
Testing frequency depends on your specific industry, the chemicals used, and any changes to your facility’s ventilation or processes. Regular annual assessments or testing after significant operational changes are common best practices.
Can testing be completed without disrupting our operations?
Yes. Our testing is designed to be as non-intrusive as possible. In many cases, we want to test during normal operations to get the most accurate data on employee exposure.
How is testing conducted?
We use a variety of methods, including passive badges worn by employees, active air sampling pumps with sorbent tubes, and direct-reading instruments for instantaneous data collection.
