Industrial Hygiene Air Monitoring Log

Inspection template for documenting industrial hygiene air monitoring results, including PEL, TLV, TWA, STEL, and result distribution across work areas.

Inspection Details

• Inspection date and time recorded
  Record when the air monitoring inspection was performed.
• Facility, department, and work area identified
  Identify the location, department, process, or production area covered by this log.
• Inspector or competent person identified
  Enter the name and role of the person completing the monitoring review.
• Monitoring purpose documented
  Select the reason the monitoring was performed.

Sampling Plan and Method

• Sampling type selected
  Identify whether the sample represents a worker breathing zone, a fixed location, or both.
• Contaminant or agent monitored
  Enter the airborne contaminant, dust, fume, vapor, mist, or gas being monitored.
• Sampling method and media documented
  Record the method, cassette, tube, badge, pump, or analytical approach used.
• Calibration and flow rate verified
  Confirm pre- and post-sampling calibration, pump flow rate, and equipment readiness.
• Sampling duration recorded
  Enter the sampling period used for the result, including full-shift or short-term duration.

Exposure Limits and Results

• PEL documented
  Enter the applicable OSHA permissible exposure limit for the contaminant.
• TLV documented
  Enter the applicable ACGIH threshold limit value if used by the program.
• TWA result recorded
  Record the measured time-weighted average exposure result.
• STEL result recorded
  Record the measured short-term exposure result, if applicable.
• Result compared to applicable limit
  Summarize whether the measured result exceeds or approaches the applicable exposure limit.

Work Area Distribution

• Sampling locations listed
  Select all work areas included in the monitoring event.
• Highest exposure area identified
  Identify the work area or task with the highest measured concentration.
• Exposure distribution summarized
  Summarize how results varied across work areas, tasks, or shifts, including any hotspots or low-exposure zones.
• Employees potentially affected documented
  Enter the number of workers who may have been exposed in the monitored areas.

Findings, Corrective Actions, and Sign-Off

• Deficiency or non-conformance identified
  Indicate whether the monitoring results revealed an exposure concern, exceedance, or program deficiency.
• Corrective action documented
  Describe the corrective action, such as engineering controls, PPE changes, work practice changes, retesting, or medical follow-up.
• Follow-up monitoring required
  Confirm whether additional monitoring is required after corrective actions or process changes.
• Inspector signature
  Signature of the person completing the inspection log.
