Work Environment Measurement: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how workers in noisy or dusty environments can access mandatory assessments of air quality and noise levels at no cost.
This scheme ensures that workplaces with specific physical risks undergo regular checks to protect the health of those working inside them.
Who it's for
This is for any worker operating in environments where they are exposed to high levels of noise or significant amounts of dust.
What you get
Your employer is required to conduct mandatory assessments of the air quality and noise levels in your workspace. These measurements help determine if the working conditions meet safety standards.
What it costs you
It costs you nothing. The employer is responsible for paying for the measurement process.
The catch to know
The results of these measurements cannot be kept secret; the findings must be shared with the workers or the labor union.
How to apply
- Identify if your workspace involves high noise or dust.
- Confirm with your employer that they are conducting the mandatory measurements.
- Check with your union or workplace representatives to view the assessment results once they are completed.
