Compliance
A spot check is a snapshot. Your duty runs all day.
A poorly ventilated meeting room looks no different from a well-ventilated one, so it's easy to drift into poor air quality without anyone noticing until wellbeing complaints show up.
Periodic checks
A reading on the day, not how the air changes across the week
Problems found when staff complain of stuffy rooms or fatigue
No way to see which zones have a genuine ventilation problem
Little evidence to show how ventilation is being managed
Trackpac continuous monitoring
CO2, TVOC, PM2.5, PM10, temperature and humidity, around the clock
Rules that alert facilities teams when CO2 or VOCs cross a threshold
Compare rooms and floors to find where ventilation falls short
A timestamped history of every reading, stored for 3 years
Why it matters
Air quality is a compliance issue, not just comfort.
Continuous monitoring only helps if it triggers a response. Trackpac turns readings into alerts, and alerts into a record.
Regulatory exposure
Being unable to demonstrate adequate ventilation is a real gap under COSHH and general health and safety duties.
Staff wellbeing
Elevated CO2 is linked to fatigue and reduced concentration, directly affecting the people working in the space.
Building performance
Continuous data shows whether HVAC systems are actually doing their job across a building's different zones.
High-occupancy spaces
Classrooms, meeting rooms and open-plan offices see CO2 spike fastest and benefit most from continuous monitoring.
The UK framework
What the regulations ask of employers.
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require effective and suitable ventilation. COSHH Regulation 10 requires employers to monitor exposure to hazardous substances when a risk assessment indicates potential exposure.
There isn't a single blanket requirement to install CO2 or VOC sensors everywhere, but for workplaces with poor ventilation, chemical exposure or high occupancy, continuous monitoring is a practical way to show the duty is being met.
One compact sensor covers the metrics that matter.
CO2The primary indicator of ventilation in occupied spaces. Guidance commonly treats around 1,000ppm as the point to act, and levels above 1,500ppm as a sign ventilation needs improving.
TVOCsTotal volatile organic compounds from cleaning products, furnishings and materials.
Particulates (PM2.5 & PM10)Fine particles from dust, traffic infiltration or nearby activity.
Temperature & humidityBoth a comfort factor and a driver of mould and condensation risk.
Place the same air quality sensor in each room or floor you need to watch, so you can compare zones and find the real problems.

Alert and record
Rules alert the right people by SMS, email or push when CO2 or VOCs cross a threshold, and every reading is kept as evidence.
Choose your workplace sensors
Trackpac supports a range of LoRaWAN® air quality sensors, from all-in-one CO2, TVOC and particulate monitors to compact temperature and humidity sensors. Not sure which fits your site? We'll help you choose on a demo call.
Trackpac runs its own LoRaWAN® network and roams on the Helium Network, so there's already coverage across much of the globe. Your sensors can connect as soon as they're switched on, with no network to build.
Need guaranteed coverage deep indoors or on a remote site? Add a gateway: our LoRaWAN® consultancy team can plan placement, and we can supply and manage the gateways for you.
Regulations, exposure limits, methods and equipment.
How do you monitor air quality in the workplace?
Air quality in the workplace can be monitored using various methods, including personal air sampling, area monitoring, and the use of air quality sensors and detectors.
Is air quality monitoring a legal requirement?
Yes, air quality monitoring is a legal requirement in many countries, including the UK. Employers are required to monitor air quality to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for employees.
How often should workplace air monitoring be done?
The frequency of workplace air monitoring depends on the nature of the workplace, the type of contaminants present, and the level of risk. High-risk environments may require more frequent monitoring.
How do you conduct air quality monitoring?
Air quality monitoring is made easy with Trackpac, add your sensors and get live metrics around air quality in your workplace.
What is workplace air quality monitoring?
Workplace air quality monitoring involves assessing the levels of airborne contaminants, such as dust, fumes, gases, and vapors, to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for employees.
Why is workplace air quality important?
Poor air quality can lead to health issues, reduced productivity, and non-compliance with regulatory standards. Monitoring ensures a safe environment and compliance with legal obligations.
What are the common sources of poor air quality in the workplace?
Common sources include industrial processes, use of hazardous chemicals, poor ventilation, construction dust, and emissions from equipment or machinery.
What regulations govern workplace air quality monitoring in the UK?
The key regulations include the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, and HSE’s Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs).
How often should workplace air quality monitoring be conducted?
The frequency depends on the nature of the workplace, processes involved, and the risk of exposure. High-risk environments may require continuous or regular periodic monitoring.
What are Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs)?
WELs are the maximum concentrations of hazardous substances in the air, defined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), that workers can be exposed to without adverse health effects.
What methods are used for workplace air quality monitoring?
Common methods include personal air sampling, area monitoring, and biological monitoring to measure contaminants in the workplace.
What equipment is used for air quality monitoring?
Devices like gas detectors, particulate monitors, and IAQ sensors are commonly used to measure pollutants in the workplace.
What are the health risks of poor workplace air quality?
Poor air quality can cause respiratory issues, headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, and long-term illnesses like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
How can employers maintain good air quality in the workplace?
Employers can install and maintain ventilation systems, regularly monitor air quality, educate employees on safe practices, and reduce the use of hazardous substances where possible.
