Hi
I have been given a task of conducting a biological survey for a number of workplace hazardous agents, would anyone be able to send me some examples on how to construct a detailed report on such a subject,as i have only recently started to scratch the surface of environmental management.

Regards

Stevelee

A good starting point on this may be "monitoring strategies for toxic substances" its not too detailed, fairly short but very useful as a starting point when setting up a monitoring system.

HSE - HSG173
mine cost me £6.95, worth every penny,

Serious question;-

Do you consider that you are competent to do such a survey, or would it be better to 'hire in an expert'?

When you say biological and hazardous agents are you referring to the effects on the individual from chemical hazards or are you referring to biological hazards (e.g. micro-organisms)?

Treat it just like a hazardous substance. COSHH covers biological agents - start with the ACOP.
