People are exposed to chemical vapours more frequently in industry, production halls, and warehouses. So don’t take any chance, whether as a preventive measure or in response to health complaints, but start exposure measurements today. The occupational hygienists at Arizo help you ensure healthy air quality.
Occupational exposure measurements are mandatory. As an employer, you must measure the exposure of your employees to chemicals on a regular basis. Standard EN 689 outlines the strategy to follow for these measurements in 4 steps:

With these preliminary measurements, you can easily list and determine exposure to chemicals in the workplace (Step 1). The ideal tool for this purpose is the DIY HDS VOC for personal exposure measurements. It is specially designed to obtain an inventory and risk assessment relating to vapours and gases with a single measurement. Here are the advantages in a nutshell:
If no exposure risk is identified, the complete risk analysis is performed without any personal exposure measurements which are expensive and have an impact on your employees.
When a stationary measurement reveals an exposure risk, personal exposure measurements are mandatory (Step 2). You can then proceed with the DIY personal VOC measurement, developed to measure exposure to chemical vapours in the breathing zone of your employees.
After a brief training session from our occupational hygienists, you, as a prevention advisor or production manager, can carry out these measurements yourself, thereby saving significant costs for your employer.
For both stationary measurements and exposure measurements, the DIY VOC measurement can map all gases and vapours. If chemical exposure occurs via aerosols – small solid or liquid particles suspended in the air, such as particulate matter and welding fumes – more is needed: specific sampling and analyses carried out on site by Arizo’s occupational hygienists.
