It is important that you provide a safe working space for your employees, not only as you are legally required to do so but also because it will engender a better morale amongst your staff and will ensure that your operations are as efficient as possible. You need to find a firm that can provide a huge range of environmental tests, from zinc whiskers to air quality audits. So what do you look for in a good environmental testing firm? This guide will tell you.

You need to find a firm that has a team of highly trained and experienced people on their staff. They need to have been working in the industry for a number of years and should be widely respected for their abilities and service provision. Environmental testing is a very demanding area that requires specialised knowledge and a range of both theoretical and practical abilities and skills.

Find a firm that has staff who can deliver. You want them to have been widely published in the field and to have conducted many thousands of tests. Their staff should have BScs and PhDs and they also need to have all the appropriate certificates and qualifications to do ...
... the job.

Closely related to this, they need to have the infrastructure and protocols in place to be able to do the job effectively and accurately every time. The longer the business has been operating the better their protocols, procedures and systems will be, the more equipment they will have and the better they will be at using it. It takes a long time to develop and refine all the operating procedures in such a technically advanced area so find a firm that have refined their testing.

Make sure you find a firm that offers a number of key environmental monitoring services including indoor air quality audits (IAQ), sick building syndrome testing, Cooling Tower water testing, Clean Room Commissioning, NABERS IE Ratings, and risk assessments applicable to IAQ based on Safework Australia and NSW Workcover Codes of Practice. They should also be able to test in a range of different types of buildings and complexes such as offices, shopping centres, hospitals, manufacturing facilities and educational institutions.  

It pays to spend some time finding the right testing firm as you will get a far better outcome when you go with one of the best in the business. Find out the indoor environment quality of your building now and make sure it meets regulations.
