In Singapore, workplaces across various industrial sectors face significant health risks due to exposure to toxic substances and environmental hazards. Under the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) (General Provisions) Regulations, regular toxic substances monitoring is mandatory if hazardous materials are used or generated. Industrial hygiene monitoring Singapore is critical to detect, assess, and control these exposures, ensuring compliance with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) requirements.
At Envirex Pte Ltd, we provide comprehensive occupational hygiene monitoring and hygiene monitoring services to protect worker health, support regulatory compliance, and maintain a safe working environment. This guide outlines why workplace air monitoring is essential, what services we offer, and how we help you achieve compliance and safety.
Why Industrial Hygiene and Toxic Substance Monitoring Is Essential
Exposure to hazardous agents such as chemicals, dust, fumes, and vapours can cause respiratory illnesses, skin conditions, or chronic diseases like cancer. The MOM mandates toxic substances monitoring under Regulation 39 of the WSH (General Provisions) Regulations to safeguard employees.
Industrial hygiene monitoring Singapore offers several benefits:
- MOM Compliance: Monitor exposure levels against Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) under the WSH Regulations.
- Worker Protection: Identify hazardous exposures and mitigate occupational health risks.
- Risk Mitigation: Evaluate the effectiveness of existing controls such as ventilation or PPE.
- Regulatory Reporting: Generate reliable data for MOM submissions to avoid penalties.
With Envirex, our professional hygiene monitoring services ensure full regulatory compliance and protect the well-being of your workforce.
