Laboratories are complex environments to work in, so staff are inevitably exposed to a range of chemicals in their daily work. Training, PPE, procedures, ventilation systems and modern equipment are all focused on reducing chemical exposure; however, all of these systems need to be working ‘as-designed’ to provide effective protection. Similarly, some of these systems may work against each other, resulting in lower effectiveness.

BioSafety’s highly trained staff of scientists, hygienists, chemists and microbiologists are experienced in working in controlled environments. They bring timely and valuable assessments and recommendations to situations of compromised air quality and surface contamination in laboratories, assessing measurable parameters to find if all systems are working to provide a safe environment. Handheld specific chemical monitors, air sampling badges, IAQ measurements, ventilation exchange rates, fume cupboard and extraction flow rates, microbiological contamination and radio-isotope assessment can be used to gain a holistic view of the controlled environment.
