Workplace Environmental Assessments

Tailored to cover some or all of the variables you may encounter with your indoor air quality, water quality, standards of hygiene/food safety, computer room environments, and occupancy comfort e.g. office temperature or noise levels, our totally independent Workplace Environment Assessment provides you with valuable and definitive information on your building performance in a single report.

Workplace Environment Assessments will help to:

Establish your position in relation to your legal requirements
Provide asset and building performance information for internal and external customers, enforcers, insurers, investors and regulators
Assess aspects of the building you cannot always see
Explain accredited compliance data
Protect your budget from unnecessary remedial work
Place individual aspects of the workplace environment within an overall picture
Satisfy your staff and management that you have healthy buildings and office environments and your employee wellbeing is at the heart of your organisation

As a tool to demonstrate the quality of your building performance and the effectiveness of your maintenance, it is the most comprehensive ongoing workplace assessment available. As it also combines all the disciplines involved you can quickly and easily identify any inter-related trends that can otherwise get missed.

That is why, every year, our consultants carry out thousands of independent workplace environmental assessments, all with the backing of relevant and extensive accreditation - our ISO 17025 system covers on site sampling, transportation and laboratory analysis of your air, water and occupancy comfort. To what use could you put such a tool?

Our consultants can also advise you on the use of our online compliance management solution Assurity Plus 2.0 to view real time progress of your allocated actions, simplify the way you work, demonstrate greater compliance control, have useable management reporting and enhanced visibility of risks.

If you recognise the benefit of an expert, independent workplace environmental assessment, please call us today for a detailed, confidential and without-obligation discussion of your requirements.

Benefits

Expertise at hand

To assess your workplace environment in its entirety, you need a consultancy with the right breadth and depth of directly-employed expertise and the appropriate scale of facilities. Assurity Consulting is uniquely that consultancy.

Years of experience

With 100s of years of combined experience in 1,000s of buildings across the UK, Europe and beyond, we are already the automatic first choice for many wanting quality workplace environment information.

Results you can rely on

We are unique among consultancies offering this service. Our ISO 17025 accreditation covers not just the sampling, transportation and analysis of your air and water samples but the more emotive areas such as temperature and humidity too. With our own laboratory processing thousands of samples a year, coupled with our longstanding, robust accreditations, we automatically factor out error others not offering this can be prone to.

Impartial advice

The fact that our consultants do not offer remedial services gives them the freedom to focus totally on your situation. Whether giving you a clean bill of health or identifying areas of improvement, our independence provides you information that is free from vested interest.

Working with you

Your workplace environment assessment reports are all personally presented so you have the opportunity to fully understand the findings and what they mean to you. Add in the account management team support to your own dedicated consultant and there is always someone you know you can contact who already understands your needs as well as your buildings.
