Bioaerosol Hazard Source Checklist for Waste and Recycling Sites
A practical checklist for reviewing bioaerosol sources on waste sites
Waste materials have the potential to contain high levels of bacteria and fungi, levels can increase when materials are stored.
Handling and processing wastes inevitably generates bioaerosols, particularly where materials are moved, agitated, or plant and machinery is cleaned. This checklist brings together common operational activities associated with bioaerosol exposure, based on long-standing industry experience.
The checklist is intended to support, not replace, formal COSHH risk assessment. It provides a clear overview of typical waste-handling activities where exposure to bioaerosols is more likely, helping you to focus attention where it matters most.
Use it to review your site, encourage discussion, and ensure key activities are not overlooked when assessing the bioaerosol risk.

We have broad industry experience and expertise spanning more than 25 years of bioaerosol assessments in the waste industry. We have worked with regulators, researchers, and other professional bodies to develop sampling procedures, guidance, and best practices for bioaerosol evaluation.
