When is a good time to conduct noise and air quality testing at my facility or job site?

As winter weather approaches, many operations begin staying inside because of the cold. Bay doors are closed, fans stop running, and loud tools and equipment are moved inside. For work areas where the possibility of breathing hazards and loud noises exist, you must ensure each area has air and noise sampling. OSHA will be checking to ensure you have these samples recently completed. Contact Summit Safety Group if your company needs on-site testing.
