When do you need Air Testing services?
You need air testing services if you occupy a space and have workers or if you manage a building where people may be affected by poor air quality. You have a duty of care for all your workers that occupy your workspace. You may need air testing services if your site is causing off-site pollution impacts or your development might be affected by poor air quality.
Air quality testing services are required both indoors and outdoors. Indoor air testing services are required for general indoor air quality, in response to a complaint, or as part of occupational hygiene services for specific industries and workers. Outdoor air testing is required as part of environmental compliance issues. Indoor testing is related to Work Health and Safety Regulations while outdoor air testing is related to Environmental Regulations.

The air quality in Sydney is measured by the Air Quality Categories by the NSW government and is classified as Good, Fair, Poor, Very Poor, and Extremely Poor. There are a number of sites throughout Greater Sydney that are used to measure the ambient air quality and these give a snapshot of the air quality of the Greater Sydney Region. There are a few parameters that are used to classify the air quality into various categories and these include particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. The air quality outside can affect the indoor air quality as well since outside air infiltrates indoors and when air conditioning systems are running ineffectively this exacerbates the problem.
People indoors can have a number of complaints from mild to severe as a result of poor indoor air quality and can develop health complications as a result. It is important for business owners and managers to regularly organize testing of the indoor air quality and to implement any recommendations for improvement before a complaint or health concern arises.
There are many instances where business owners and managers have not been proactive and have to respond to a complaint by staff or a health concern. Indoor air testing can also be undertaken at this stage. It is best to be proactive and avoid complaints and have a record of indoor air testing results over time to avoid staff health complications and legal issues.
