Worker Exposure Testing

Worker exposure testing is aspect of industrial hygiene that focuses on evaluating employee exposures to chemical hazards. Testing can be done in response to complaints, or on a proactive basis, to demonstrate compliance with regulations and to ensure worker safety.

Typically, testing is done by obtaining “personal” samples collected by a cassette placed within the worker’s breathing zone. Testing can also involve “area” samples collected at a fixed location. ECG submits the samples for analysis, evaluates the results, and then prepares a report that includes a summary of the findings and recommendations for the client.

The Worker Exposure Testing Process
The worker exposure testing process usually involves:

• A walk-through assessment of the workplace
• Industrial hygiene testing on one or more workers during an eight-hour shift
• Laboratory analysis
• A verbal summary of ECG’s findings
• A written report
