LCS Laboratory Inc. offers ready-to-use air sampling kits designed to help health and safety coordinators perform air quality testing directly at their workplaces. These kits empower companies to take control of their workplace safety by conducting targeted air sampling and reducing reliance on external consultants. The kits are specifically designed for environments like casting plants and refineries, targeting dust, gases, metals, binders, silica, and fibrous materials.
For companies looking to monitor and improve workplace safety, we provide an efficient and cost-effective solution. By conducting air sampling in-house, health and safety coordinators can assess worker exposure to hazardous substances, identify risks, and implement timely interventions—all while significantly reducing the cost compared to hiring third-party air quality specialists.
What’s Included in the Air Sampling Kit?
Each kit is custom assembled to meet your requirements, and contains the essential tools and materials needed for effective air quality testing:
- 2-15 portable air sampling pumps with hoses and cassette holders.
- Filters and adsorbent tubes for collecting airborne dust and vapours.
- Detailed sampling manuals to guide coordinators through the process.
- Optional Zoom training for clients who want to learn air sampling techniques.
Key contaminants addressed include:
- Total Respirable Dust: Collected on 37 mm PVC cassettes and tested using the NIOSH 0600 method.
- Crystalline Silica: Re-analysis of dust samples by NIOSH 7602, targeting areas like mold-breaking lines.
- Respirable Metals (Iron, Aluminum, Zinc): Measured with the NIOSH 7301 method using 37 mm MCE cassettes and cyclones.
- Formaldehyde and Acrolein: Found in binder smoke, measured using DNPH tubes and NIOSH 2016.
