What Is\u00a0Work Environment Measurement<\/h1>\n

Work Environment Measurement (WEM) is a process of measuring the magnitude, frequency, and duration of exposure to physical and chemical hazards.<\/p>\n

Strengthen your company\u2019s compliance with our work environment assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gone are the days where scratches, bruises, and occupational illness are taken for granted. As countries around the world enact legislation requiring stricter regulations on occupational health and safety, companies that can prove compliance is at a competitive advantage. In fact, a failure to comply not only means legal penalties but also risks putting employees and assets in danger.<\/p>\n

In a workplace exposed to ionizing radiation, harmful rays of light, noise, and vibration, high\/low temperatures, high humidity, etc. in addition to harmful chemical substances such as organic solvent, lead and its compounds, specified chemical substances, etc., and harmful substances such as dust as a cause of pneumoconiosis, etc., the measurement must be made according to the working environment measurement standard. Furthermore, the measurement by a working environment measurement expert is obliged in six designated workplaces. It is specified that depending on the workplace, the measurement result must be evaluated, and proper measures for improvement must be taken. The working environment measurement will be evaluated by three classifications (management classifications No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3) depending on the working environment status.<\/p>\n
