Industrial hygiene covers the exposure of workers to the various contaminants that may be present in the workplace. Dusts, natural fibers such as wood, and gases can cause irreversible damage to the human body. It is therefore essential to study work environments in order to establish target values that meet health and safety requirements.
Building hygiene aims to characterize, inventory and plan the removal of contaminants in a building. Whether asbestos, silica or lead, these hazardous materials present in building materials can have an impact on occupants or workers when they are removed. Building hygiene also helps ensure air quality in buildings in terms of oxygen, CO2 and volatile organic compounds.
Carry out your projects with peace of mind
Risks to the health and safety of building occupants are often underestimated and can have unsuspected consequences.
CIMA+ experts will answer all your questions on industrial and building hygiene.
- What contaminants are present in my workplace?
- What regulations apply to my building or workplace?
- Is the long-term health of my workers at risk?
- What mitigation measures can I implement to ensure the safety of my workers and facilities?
- Are there any legal or regulatory provisions in place governing the management of contamination in my building, and how might they affect the project?
- What is the estimated cost of dealing with contamination?
Our teams will help you identify the risks associated with your project, so that you can make informed decisions about contamination management and the pursuit of your project.
