Indoor air quality risk analysis
Air quality, worth investigating Headaches, sore throat, irritated eyes, and fatigue during work? These are some of the symptoms of poor indoor air quality. Time for some active and preventive protection for your colleagues! Start with a risk analysis of indoor air quality and make your office a healthy and energetic environment. What does the law say about indoor air quality? As an employer you are required to conduct a risk analysis of the air quality in the work premises in order to identify potential pollutants. The guidelines provide instructions on how to proceed. You can protect yourself and your colleguages by getting a grasp of and applying this legislation. Conduct your risk analysis with the AQM programme Arizo’s Air Quality Monitor (AQM) is a handy tool for investigating indoor air quality. This is an advanced measuring device that monitors 10 essential parameters simultaneously: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and three forms of particulate matter. You can use these data to get a complete picture of air quality and identify potential pollutants. Investigate together? You are committed to healthy air at work, and Arizo is here to help. We assist prevention advisors, occupational hygienists, and facility managers with a detailed risk analysis of indoor air quality. Our preliminary measurements provide a clear view of air quality in your workspaces. After the assessment, we compile the data into a clear report, which we review together. So don’t wait a moment more: Start measuring now.

Laboratory
Measuring & analysing Good air quality in the workplace is not a given. Enter Arizo. Our mission is Breathtaking air quality for everyone. We are leaders in measuring gases and vapours, and our laboratory is an essential link in this process. Own laboratory Arizo boasts a laboratory with the most modern analysis methods such as TD-GC/MS en FTIR. We have invested in the TO15+ analysis set up so that we can analyse all VOCs very accurately from a single air sample. Concentrations of formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, benzene, diacetyl, etc. are consequently mapped with just one measurement. So long conventional methods that require 3-4 measurements for the same result. Added value of the Arizo laboratory Our laboratory has a strong occupational hygiene focus. Accordingly, in addition to concentration and detection limits, we also provide exposure limits and risk assessments with our analyses. Our laboratory is an extra winning asset for gas measurements in containers. Action is taken rapidly when a particular risk is identified, and the container is not blocked. Learn everything about gas measurements in containers here. Work to be done We at Arizo have always been pioneers in R&D and the development of new analysis techniques and services relating to air quality. Our occupational hygiene laboratory contributes to improving air quality at your workplace. In a nutshell: You can leave the laboratory work to Arizo with utter peace of mind, but the initiative for the measurements must come from you. What are you waiting for?
‘Smart Life CO2+’ meter
Why a CO2 meter? Whether in or outside the home, indoor air quality is often worse than you think. There are different reasons, ranging from too much CO2 to the presence of harmful substances such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter. You can purchase a CO2 meter from us that detects precisely those substances that are harmful to your health. ‘Smart Life CO2+’ meter At Arizo, we tested the quality of several CO2 meters, and the research study showed that the ‘Smart Life CO2+’ meter was the best. - Affordable - Reliable results - Extra sensors for VOCs and particulate matter -- the key parameters that pose a risk to your health ‘Smart Life’-app The ‘Smart Life CO2+’ meter works completely autonomously but can also be connected to the Smart Life app, so you can monitor the air quality remotely, receive alerts, and take action. Do you have several ‘Smart Life CO2+’ meters in different rooms? With the Smart Life app, all readings are within reach. The data are stored in the cloud and the results are displayed in clear graphs. You can also set threshold values with the app. Has the concentration of CO2, particulate matter, VOCs, humidity, or temperature reached a critical level? You will receive a notification on your smartphone so that you can take action, e.g. turn on a smart device like a fan, air conditioner, or humidifier.
Container gas measurement (customs & fasfc)
Arizo carries out gas measurements on containers for customs and the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC). Gas measurements on containers during inspection or physical verification To protect their employees, customs and the FASFC have decided that the declarant must prove that a container is free from harmful gases. Our fast and accurate measurement method guarantees safety. Prevention is better than cure Did you know that on average, 1 in 8 containers selected for customs verification contains too many harmful gases? And that the majority of rejected containers have a hazardous atmosphere due to the evaporation of goods? Contact with these substances has irreversible long-term health consequences.
Container gas measurement (logistics)
Arizo carries out gas measurements on containers for logistics companies (ABC procedure). Gas measurements on containers: feasible and affordable Gas measurements seem complex, expensive, and time-consuming at first glance. Arizo, however, has found an elegant solution. We map out the risks of your containers on the basis of a few analyses. You then receive a simple measuring device that enables you to monitor all containers yourself. By addressing the exposure at the source (the containers), you avoid steps 2 and 3, which can entail significant costs. Start the ABC procedure Arizo understands all too well that it is impossible for your logistics company to have all containers measured first, as is done by customs/FASFC. We offer a feasible solution for your risk analysis according to Standard EN 689 with an occupational hygiene report through our ABC procedure: - We map your goods flows and examine the risks for each flow - We then calculate the safe measurement value for each flow - Based on this safe measurement value, you can easily release the containers yourself with a relatively simple device - DIY measurement: The ABC procedure is a method for unloading containers safely, but the goods can also continue to emit gases later in the warehouse. So check the chemicals in the warehouse with a DIY measurement
Bulk ship gas measurement
Arizo carries out gas measurements on bulk ships for bulk terminals, shipping companies, shipping agents, dockworkers, and prevention advisors. Gas measurements on bulk ships Dealing with toxic gases on bulk ships is not by no means self-evident. A safety measurement is performed before dockworkers enter the cargo holds of a bulk ship. As in the case with containers , different gases may be present depending on the cargo and production method. Simply measuring for O2, CO, H2S, and LEL is not enough here. A proper safety measurement is based on a comprehensive risk analysis. Arizo conducts risk analyses and gas measurements to ensure the safety of dockworkers. Guarantee safety The safety of port workers is supported by the CEPA guidelines with safety instructions. On the other hand, the Codex, which mandates exposure measurements, also applies to bulk ships. As an employer, you must perform these measurements regularly to ensure the health of your employees. Do not compromise on safety. The solution: Arizo’s 24/7 service - Arizo carries out gas-free inspections in accordance with the latest regulations and threshold limits. - We determine whether and how harmful the cargo is with a risk analysis in our own laboratory, so that the hatches containing the cargo can be cleared for entry. - Our team of gas experts is available 24/7 to ensure that your logistics process is not delayed due to unpredictable circumstances, such as rain.
