They are grouped into three categories according to their nature. For each category, we conduct the industrial hygiene measurements required by health and safety regulations.
We identify the agents present at each workstation and assess the risk of exposure. The study determines what needs to be measured and which strategy should be followed.
We quantify actual exposure using calibrated equipment and compare the results against the applicable limit values.
Forms of energy present in the working environment that may damage health through prolonged exposure. They are identified individually and measured using calibrated equipment.
We organise them by type of agent, as each one requires a specific measurement.
Lux measurements to assess existing lighting levels in workplaces.
Sound-level and noise-dosimetry measurements. The measurement strategy is designed around the task, th workstation or the full working day, depending on the characteristics of the workstations being assessed.
Assessment of workers’ exxposure to whole-body and hand-arm vibration. Acceleration is measured to determine the normalized daily exposure value A (8).
Measurement of temperature, relative humidity and air speed to assess environmental conditions in workplaces.
Measurement of environmental parameters and calculation of specific indices: the WBGT index and heat strain for hot environments, and the IREQ index for cold environments.
Measurement of electric and magnetic fields and comparison against the applicable action levels and exposure limit values.
Measurement of radon gas in workplaces in accordance with Royal Decree 1029/2022.
Substances present in the workplace. We identify hazardous chemical agents in the working environment.
As there are hundreds of agents, we have organised them by type of practice.
Identification of carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic substances (CMRs). The exposure risk is assessed according to their hazardous properties, the quantities used, the characteristics of the process, the frequency and duration of the tasks and the existing control measures.
Samples are taken from the worker’s breathing zone, analyzed in a laboratory and subsequently compared against the occupational exposure limit.
Removal or maintenance of old materials that may contain asbestos.
Cutting, sawing, sanding, planing and machining of wood.
Microorganisms, cell cultures and human endoparasites capable of causing infection, allergies or toxicity. Here, too, we begin with the type of study.
As there are hundreds of agents, we have organised them by type of practice.
This study makes it possible to prioritize preventive and control measures, both in activities involving deliberate handling and in activities where biological agents are not deliberately handled.
Indoor air-quality study determining airborne mesophilic aerobic flora (bacteria), airborne fungal flora (fungi) and total volatile organic compounds.
Activities in which a biological agent is intentionally used or handled.
Exposure occurs as a consequence of the work without the agent being deliberately handled. Microbiological diagnostic laboratories are excluded.

La Ley 31/1995 de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales y el RD 39/1997 obligan a evaluar los riesgos higiénicos. Cuando la evaluación no permite descartar el riesgo, es necesario medir los niveles reales de exposición.
Depende del nivel de riesgo y de los resultados obtenidos. Como referencia, se repiten con periodicidad anual en exposiciones significativas y siempre que cambien las condiciones del puesto, los equipos o el proceso productivo.
Metodología y equipos empleados, resultados comparados con los valores límite ambientales (VLA) vigentes, conclusiones sobre el cumplimiento y recomendaciones concretas de control.
Técnicos en higiene industrial con equipos calibrados y procedimientos normalizados, garantizando la validez técnica y legal de los resultados.
Tras la visita de toma de datos, el informe se entrega habitualmente en una o dos semanas, según el número de puntos de medición y la complejidad del estudio.
En muchas empresas la exposición está infravalorada: aparece en tareas puntuales, en productos de limpieza o mantenimiento, o en subproductos del propio proceso (humos, polvos, vapores). La evaluación cualitativa identifica todos los agentes presentes —incluidos los CMR— y determina cuáles requieren medición cuantitativa.
El RD 1029/2022 exige medir el gas radón en lugares de trabajo subterráneos y en plantas bajas situadas en zonas de actuación prioritaria, así como en determinados puestos específico
An industrial hygiene specialist will assess your case with no obligation.
