Measurement of hazardous substances at workplaces

Our workplace measurements are designed to ensure employee safety and health. As an accredited measuring body for hazardous substances in accordance under Section 7 (10) of the German Hazardous Substances Ordinance (GefStoffV), we conduct hazardous substance measurements in accordance with the legal requirements outlined in the Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances 402 (TRGS 402).

We evaluate exposure situations using workplace limit values (AGW according to TRGS 900), acceptance and tolerance concentrations (AK/TK according to TRGS 910), and substance-specific TRGS assessment criteria. To provide a comprehensive view of exposure and verify compliance with limit values, we perform both stationary measurements and personal monitoring.
