Overview of Workplace Monitoring & Industrial Hygiene

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: Factories Act & OSH Code
Typical turnaround: 7–10 days after the visit
Sampling: On-site, area and personal

Indian factory law sets permissible exposure limits for chemical substances in the work environment, and requires factories carrying out hazardous processes to monitor them periodically. State factory rules add requirements for lighting, ventilation, temperature and noise. These sit under the Factories Act and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code that consolidates it.

An industrial hygiene survey measures respirable dust and silica, metal fumes, solvent vapours and gases, noise exposure, illumination levels and heat stress (WBGT), both as area readings and with personal samplers worn by workers through the shift. Results feed into medical surveillance, the choice of PPE and engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation. Factories also need a valid factory licence.

How we handle Workplace Monitoring & Industrial Hygiene

1
Assessment of requirement
We confirm the standard, the list of tests and how many samples your product needs.
2
Sample collection
We collect the samples from your factory or warehouse, or tell you exactly where to send them.
3
Right lab assigned
We choose an accredited lab (NABL, BIS-recognised or ILAC) that covers your standard and can start soonest.
4
Testing
The lab tests your samples against the standard. We follow up and tell you at once if a test fails.
5
Test report
You receive the signed test report, ready to use for BIS, WPC, CE or your buyer.

What the lab tests

Parameter	Why it is checked
Respirable dust and crystalline silica	Lung disease risk
Solvent vapours and toxic gases	Against permissible exposure limits
Metal fumes	Welding, foundry and plating
Noise dose	Hearing protection decisions
Illumination	Lux levels at work stations
Heat stress (WBGT) and ventilation	Hot processes and enclosed areas

The final list depends on your product, its standard and the purpose of testing. We confirm it with you before the sample goes to the lab.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the work environment be monitored?

State factory rules typically require monitoring at least every six months for hazardous processes, and after any change in process. Your consent or safety audit conditions may set a different frequency.

Will auditors and inspectors accept the report?

Monitoring is done by NABL-accredited labs using recognised Indian and international methods, which factory inspectors, green building assessors and customer auditors accept. Where your state rules name specific agencies, we check this before booking.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
