Employers are responsible for ensuring occupational health and safety and must be familiar with labor protection regulations, including health and safety rules.
The environmental conditions in which work takes place are shaped by environmental factors (physical, chemical, and biological), which originate from the technological processes that process materials and raw materials. These factors can adversely affect employee health, and prolonged exposure can lead to illness and occupational disease.
In accordance with applicable legal regulations, employers are obligated to conduct, at their own expense, tests and measurements of factors harmful to health, record and store the results of these measurements, and make them available to employees. The obligation to conduct work environment tests applies to all types of work, including production, service, office, warehousing, transportation, and other types of work.
To support compliance with these regulations, we offer a comprehensive range of measurements and analyses of harmful and burdensome factors in the work environment.
