Hazardous Agents Measurements [1.5]
CRM Cyprus Ltd conducts specialized measurement services, to assess risks linked to Working Environment Quality
According to the Cyprus Legislation [Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία - Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας - Νομοθεσία (mlsi.gov.cy)] as well as Ministry of Labour requirements every RA Study [1.1.5] must document risks through measurements.
Measurements is a scientific method of identifying factors that can adversely affect human health. The objective of conducting measurements is the quantification of employee exposure in these factors and the comparison of the results with specific criteria that are called exposure limits.
It is thus very important for an Employing Company to conduct reliable measurements because, depending on these results, it will have to take mitigation measures for the protection of its employees.
Measurements are not a self-explanatory procedure but they follow very strict specifications briefly described as follows:
- measurement methodology
- instrumentation specifications
- instrumentation calibration and maintenance
- sample analysis in certified laboratories
- a management Action Plan to mitigate exposure risks
CRM Cyprus Ltd conducts specialized measurement services, to assess risks linked to Working Environment Quality [1.5.1] (physical, chemical, biological, radiation, ergonomic) as well as to follow up on adverse working environment factors (air pollutants, noise, waste) that yield from the workplace activities.
The measurements are conducted by experienced scientists (chemists, environmentalists and engineers) with the use of special measuring instruments and, where necessary, in cooperation with ISO 17025 certified laboratories inland or abroad.
Working Environment Quality Measurements [1.5.1]
Working Environment Quality Measurements
According to recent studies the contemporary men and women spend 80-90% of their inside interior areas, 8-18% in moving to and from these areas and only 2% in exterior areas.
Workplace air pollution may therefore seriously affect employee health; in our days the term “sick building syndrome” is used to describe an adverse situation during which a significant number of tenants present ill health problems. In most of these cases, sick buildings are high-rise buildings that are not occupied for the intended use.
Hence, physical, chemical and biological agents concentration measurements are required in order to determine the exposure risk in these workplace environments; the results must be compared with the occupational exposure limits, as set by the Cyprus Legislation [Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία - Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας - Νομοθεσία (mlsi.gov.cy)] or the international bibliography.
CRM Cyprus Ltd in cooperation with the Safety Officer or the Safety Responsible [1.1.1] and the Health Services of the Employing Company, conducts workplace air quality measurements according to the Cyprus Legislation [Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία - Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας - Νομοθεσία (mlsi.gov.cy)] requirements and relevant technical specifications including:
- Thermal Comfort Measurements
- Lighting Measurements
- Radiation Measurements
- Noise Measurements
- Vibration Measurements
- Flammable Agents and Explosive Atmosphere Measurements
- Ergonomic Measurements
- Chemical Agents Concentration Measurements (asbestos, inorganic compounds, VOC’s, carbon dioxide, heavy metals etc.)
- Airborne Particles Measurements (total and respirable dust)
- Biological Agents Measurements
The results are analyzed and a full measurement report is submitted with proposed measures in case the threshold limit values are exceeded.
Environmental Measurements [1.5.2]
Environmental Measurements
According to the Cyprus Legislation [Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία - Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας - Νομοθεσία (mlsi.gov.cy)], adapted to the site-specific environmental terms and conditions of each facility, all polluting parameters resulting from the industrial operations must be determined, monitored and controlled.
CRM Cyprus Ltd can monitor align the appropriate mel applicable environmental parameters and cover the needs for noise, radiation and all pollutant releases by conducting the appropriate environmental measurements.
Additionally, CRM Cyprus Ltd may conduct air pollution measurements and liquid wate analyses.
