How do you guarantee a safe and healthy work environment when the biggest danger is invisible?

Toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, explosion hazards, and volatile organic compounds are often not visible or directly perceptible. Yet these substances can pose a risk to employees, bystanders, and the immediate work environment.


In the workplace, the focus is often mainly on acute risks. But with repeated or prolonged exposure to hazardous substances, the effects can build up gradually. In the short term, employees may notice nothing, while health complaints may only arise months or even years later. 📉


No immediate complaints therefore doesn't automatically mean there is no risk.


Measuring makes risks visible. 📊


That's why CHEMGroep carries out on-site exposure measurements, including:

  • gas leak detection

  • drag/wipe sampling (sleepmatmetingen)

  • area monitoring during work activities

  • particulate matter measurements

  • nano- and ultrafine particulate measurements

  • combined gas and dust measurements


Among other things, we measure: O₂, CO, CO₂, HCN, H₂S, SO₂, NH₃, NO₂, H₂, CH₄, LEL, and PID/VOC.


At CHEMGroep, we consider an integrated approach important in order to get as complete a picture as possible of the health risks. That's why we combine gas and dust measurements, allowing us to map different risks within the work environment simultaneously. 🔎


Beforehand, we draw up a targeted measurement plan, tailored to the activities, possible substances, and associated risks. This allows us to determine not only whether exposure occurs, but especially also where, when, and during which activities it arises. 📋


This gives you concrete information that allows you to:

  • better protect employees;

  • recognize high-risk activities and sources;

  • take appropriate control measures;

  • substantiate that you are seriously managing exposure risks.


Don't wait until invisible exposure has visible consequences.


Not sure whether your current measures offer sufficient protection?


Then schedule a no-obligation risk assessment with CHEMGroep. We'll discuss your activities, the possible substances involved, and which measurement setup best fits your situation.
