I have been asked to put together a brief for an audit of an office environment.
I have identified the following areas for investigation/measurement and wondered if anyone could point out omissions or maybe send me a template for something similar.
Air quality - Humidity, Temperature, Ventilation, Contaminants
Electromagnetic radiation - Ambient levels, Equipment specific levels
Lighting - Ambient daylight, Room lighting, Supplementary lighting, Glare
Noise - Ambient levels, Equipment specific levels
Ergonomics
Water Quality -Contaminants
Grateful for any advice you may be able to offer.
cheers
Gary

At risk of being slated, there was a thread recently about dust from photocopier toners??

As a ps - Ergonomics are not part of an environmental audit. You are thinking along S&H lines rather than environmental.

Gary: To clarify: are you looking for an 'office environment' audit (for H&S) or an office 'environment audit'?.... Your title appears to the latter, but most of your examples appear to be the former..
If it’s the latter then - to expand a little on Bobs posting -
The audit will need to examine the policy, performance standards and target setting processes for
Waste - Avoid, reduce; re-use; recycle
Energy - Reduce, Air con / temperature, Insulation, glazing, furnishings
Transport - proximity of public transport, policies on car use / car share / bike subsidy / home working
Employment – Family friendly – hours of start and finish (avoid peak hours commuting etc)
Procurement - local sourcing
Not sure if these help at all...
Steve

All
Thanks for the guidance, info & help
My description of what is required is indeed pretty poor.
I need an office environment audit/study from a H&S perspecive rather than an environmental study.
I think I have what I need to move forward, so thanks once again.
cheers
