• The duration depends on the size and complexity of the facility, the number of parameters being monitored, and the scope of the assessment. We will provide an estimated timeline in our proposal. 

• Yes, absolutely. Our WEM services are specifically designed to help organizations in the Philippines meet their obligations under the Occupational Safety and Health Standards. We ensure our monitoring and reporting align with the requirements set forth by DOLE. 

• The frequency of monitoring depends on various factors, including the nature of the work processes, the types of hazards present, regulatory requirements (Philippine OSHS often specifies periodic monitoring), and the findings of previous assessments. We will recommend an appropriate monitoring schedule based on your specific situation. 

• Yes, while ensuring compliance with Philippine regulations is our priority, we can certainly incorporate best practices and methodologies from international standards like Singapore's SS 554 to provide a more comprehensive assessment and recommendations, especially if your company adheres to global standards. 

•  es, our reports include practical and actionable recommendations for improving identified issues. This may involve suggesting engineering controls (e.g., ventilation upgrades), administrative controls (e.g., work practices), or personal protective equipment (PPE). 

• Yes, our team comprises qualified and experienced professionals in occupational safety and health, environmental monitoring, and related fields. We ensure our personnel are up-to-date with the latest regulations and best practices. 

•  Health and Safety: Poor workplace environment and indoor air quality can lead to various health issues, reduced productivity, and increased absenteeism. Monitoring helps identify and mitigate these risks, ensuring a healthier and safer environment for occupants.
• Regulatory Compliance: In the Philippines, employers are mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS) to provide a safe and healthy workplace, which often necessitates WEM. Singapore also has regulations and guidelines concerning workplace safety and health, including IAQ in certain environments.
• Productivity and Comfort: A comfortable and healthy environment improves employee morale, concentration, and overall productivity. Good IAQ can reduce symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and irritation.
• Building Health: For IAQ, monitoring can also help identify potential issues with building systems (e.g., HVAC) and prevent long-term damage.

• Philippines: We primarily adhere to the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS) of the Philippines, including but not limited to: 
• Rule 1070 (Ventilation): Specifies requirements for general and local exhaust ventilation.
• Rule 1080 (Illumination): Sets minimum illumination levels for different work areas.
• Rule 1090 (Noise and Vibration): Establishes permissible noise exposure limits and guidelines for vibration.
• Rule 1180 (Threshold Limit Values for Airborne Contaminants): Provides limits for exposure to various chemical substances in the workplace air, often referencing international standards like those from the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
• Relevant guidelines and orders issued by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).
• Singapore: While our primary focus for clients in the Philippines is Philippine standards, we also consider and can incorporate best practices and methodologies from Singapore Standards, such as: 
• SS 554: Code of Practice for Indoor Air Quality for Air-Conditioned Buildings. This standard provides guidelines on IAQ parameters, monitoring, and control measures in air-conditioned environments.
• Relevant guidelines from the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) regarding workplace safety and health and environmental quality.

• We offer monitoring for a wide range of parameters, including but not limited to: 
  • Physical Hazards: Noise levels, illumination levels, temperature, humidity, ventilation rates, radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing), ergonomics.
  • Chemical Hazards: Airborne concentrations of dust (total and respirable), fumes, gases, vapors, solvents, and other specific chemical contaminants relevant to the industry.
  • Biological Hazards: Airborne microorganisms (bacteria, fungi), bioaerosols (upon specific client request and scope).

 Our IAQ assessments typically include: 

• Particulate Matter (PM2.5, PM10): Fine and coarse inhalable particles.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): A wide range of organic chemicals that can evaporate at room temperature.
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): An indicator of ventilation adequacy.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO): A toxic gas resulting from incomplete combustion.
• Formaldehyde (HCHO): A common indoor air pollutant.
• Temperature and Humidity: Key factors affecting comfort and air quality.
• Total Viable Count (TVC) - Bacteria and Fungi: Assessment of airborne microbial contamination (upon request).
• Other specific pollutants based on the building type and potential sources.
