2. Overview of occupational environment monitoring services

a. What is occupational environment monitoring for walkie-talkie manufacturing factories?

Occupational environment monitoring (or occupational environment measurement) in a walkie-talkie manufacturing factory involves collecting, evaluating, and analyzing measurements of environmental factors in the workplace. The purpose is to implement timely measures to reduce environmental hazards affecting workers’ health and to prevent occupational diseases. Monitoring is mandatory for walkie-talkie manufacturing factories.

Occupational environment monitoring plays a crucial role in protecting and improving worker health because employees are the primary resource of a business and directly generate profits. Workers exposed to excessive occupational risks beyond permissible limits may suffer health issues and develop occupational diseases.
