SKC Guide to HSE
(Health and Safety Executive)
UK Air Sampling Standards
By clicking on a letter below, the Air Sampling Guide Database will
display a list of chemical hazards beginning with that letter. Click
on the name of the chemical hazard and the database will provide you
with the HSE Standard number, agency standard (TWA or STEL), sampling
time, sampling rate, sample volume, analytical method and a listing
of SKC collecting equipment suitable for the method.
HSE methods differ from those developed by OSHA and NIOSH and the EPA,
so a separate database for OSHA/NIOSH methods and
a separate database for EPA methods has been
included.
