We have recently completed the clearances at the Former Wills Tobacco Factory in Bristol.
This work involved a large number of site visits and a total of 5 clearances on sprayed asbestos coating (each area requiring approximately 20 pumps).
Scope
Envirochem attended the site in Segensworth and alongside the site supervisor identified areas where employees could be exposed to inhalable and respirable dusts, volatile organic compounds and oil mists. Airbox sampling pumps were set up in static locations and on employees and SKC charcoal passive sampling badges were also set up on employees in areas where there is likely to be exposure to volatile organics. Oil mist filters are weighed gravimetrically and washed with cyclohexane, dried and reweighed to determine if any oil is present.
The results of the occupational hygiene assessment can be used to inform employers as to whether specific personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for their employees to work safely in these conditions and to be used as part of a control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH) assessment.
The work commenced on 18th October and was completed on 4th December.We have recently completed the clearances at the Former Wills Tobacco Factory in Bristol.
