Our Allergen Monitoring
Service can help you to assess the efficacy of your control
measures in protecting against exposure to major allergens in the
workplace. Monitoring for allergens can also be used to inform risk
assessments and identify high risk activities.
COVID-19 update:
We are pleased to announce that we are resuming some of our
testing services.

We appreciate that the coronavirus pandemic has been a difficult
time for businesses and individuals alike and we thank you for your
continued patience while we adjust to new ways of working.
