Indoor air quality is a major concern to businesses, building managers, tenants, and employees because it can impact the health, comfort, well-being, and productivity of building occupants.
Pollutants in our indoor environment can increase the risk of illness. Several studies by EPA, states and independent scientific panels have consistently ranked indoor air pollution as an important environmental health problem. While most buildings do not have severe indoor air quality problems, even well-run buildings can sometimes experience episodes of poor indoor air quality.
Pollutants can be generated by outdoor or indoor sources, including building maintenance activities, pest control, housekeeping, renovation or remodeling, new furnishings or finishes, and building occupant activities
One important goal of an indoor air quality program is to minimize people’s exposure to pollutants from these sources. Some of the key pollutant categories include:
Biological contaminants
Chemical pollutants
Particles

Noise Monitoring covers Parameters like
LAeq, LAmin, Lomax, LA10, LA50 LA90, LPeak, and many other parameters
-
Mining, Construction, and Manufacturing sectors typically have the highest prevalence of noise exposure and hearing loss, there are noise-exposed workers in every sector and every sector has workers with hearing loss.
Exposure action values
Noise is measured in decibels (dB).
There are two action levels where damage can occur:
80dB: At 80dB or a peak exposure value of 135dB you must provide information and training and make hearing protection available.
85dB or above: At or above 85dB, you must identify the reasons for the excess noise.
-
Vibration analysis is a process that monitors the levels and patterns of vibration signals within a component, machinery or structure, to detect abnormal vibration events and to evaluate the overall condition of the test object.
Advantages
Real-time reaction to the change of health conditions
Supports remote condition monitoring
Well-established processing and signal analysis methods/algorithms for predictive maintenance
Supported by various sensors commercially available for different operational conditions
-
Workers at risk of heat stress include outdoor workers and workers in hot environments such as firefighters, bakery workers, farmers, construction workers, miners, boiler room workers, factory workers, and others.
Omicron team is capable to monitor heat stress levels at the workplace. We can monitor and advise to take necessary action to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
-
llumination Surveyor Light Assessment or Lux Level survey is conducted to identify Too much bright light, glare, low light, or flickering light to avoid potential hazards and evaluation of risk to improve employee safety.
Sufficient Lighting has a major impact on the performance and efficiency of the employees at the workplace. It helps them to read labels and safety instructions clearly without any hurdles, to make sure prevention of health hazards of employees. Therefore there should be appropriate light fall on the desk or work area of the employees. Too much bright light (High intensity), Strong glare, Low light, or continuous flickering light are unsuitable for the workplace
