Professional Biological Monitoring in Malaysia: Protecting Workers from Chemical Hazards
In industries where chemicals are a core part of operations, air monitoring alone is often not enough to guarantee worker safety. MYCO2 Laboratory provides expert Biological Monitoring services, offering a critical second line of defense by measuring the actual uptake of hazardous chemicals in the human body.
What is Biological Monitoring?
Biological monitoring (or Health Surveillance) involves the analysis of biological samples—typically breath, urine, or blood—to determine the concentration of a chemical or its metabolites. This process is essential for verifying if existing control measures, such as ventilation or PPE, are effectively preventing absorption through the skin or ingestion.
Regulatory Compliance: USECHH 2000
Under the Occupational Safety and Health (Use and Standards of Exposure of Chemicals Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2000 (USECHH), employers are legally required to conduct health surveillance if employees are exposed to specific hazardous chemicals.
MYCO2 assists companies in meeting these legal obligations by providing:
Accurate Sample Analysis
Precision testing for heavy metals, solvents, and other toxic substances.
Expert Interpretation
Comparing results against Biological Exposure Indices (BEI) to determine if exposure levels are hazardous.
