Workplace microclimate and noise measurements

Working conditions are measured, not assumed. We measure temperature, humidity, airflow and noise where people work - and translate the values into concrete measures.

What the service includes

  • Microclimate

    Measurement of air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity at workstations.

  • Noise

    Measurement of noise levels at workplaces and near the main sources.

  • Measurement plan

    Selecting measurement points and timing by process and season.

  • Evaluation of results

    Comparison with reference values and identification of areas that need measures.

  • Recommendations

    Engineering, organisational and PPE measures based on the results.

  • Repeat measurements

    Verifying the effect of measures and periodic measurements.

What we measure, and in which unit.

Every parameter is reported with the measured value, location, instrument and a comparison with the permitted limit for that workplace.

  • °CAir temperature
  • %Relative humidity
  • m/sAir velocity
  • dB(A)Noise level

How we work

  1. Planning

    Workplaces, measurement points and suitable timing.

  2. Measurement

    Instrument measurements under real working conditions.

  3. Analysis

    Processing values and comparing them with reference values.

  4. Report

    Values, locations, evaluation and recommendations.

  5. Verification

    Measurements after measures and at regular intervals.

Frequently asked questions

When should microclimate be measured?

Under real working conditions, ideally in both the warm and cold season, and after changes to the building, heating, cooling or ventilation.

Can measurements be taken without stopping work?

Yes. Measurements are taken during normal work - otherwise the values would not reflect real exposure.

What if values are outside the limits?

The report shows where and by how much reference values are exceeded and recommends measures: engineering (e.g. ventilation, insulation), organisational (e.g. breaks, rotation) and PPE.

Does HSK also measure lighting?
