Occupational NoiseOccupational NoiseOccupational NoiseOccupational NoiseExcessive noise endangers hearing & lives

Inaudible operation signals result in accidents, loss of communication & productivity

Constant exposure creates fatigue & reduces attention span

Indoor Air QualityIndoor Air QualityIndoor Air QualityIndoor Air QualityGas detectors can be used to alarm when levels exceed the exposure criteria.

The following air quality parameters may be tested to determine the source of the reduced air quality.

Dust;Humidity, oxygen, temperature, CO, CO2;VOC’s; and,H2S, SOX, NOX .

Microbe InvestigationsMicrobe InvestigationsMicrobe InvestigationsMicrobe InvestigationsExcess water, humidity or un-cleaned ventilation units lead to increased microbiological growth.

Air conditioners, cooling towers and human contact are a number of avenues for microbes to be introduced into an indoor environment.

Enclosed indoor environments once exposed to unnatural levels of microbes will be re-circulated and sensitive allergic reactions may occur.
