Record Sheet to Assess Effectiveness of Measures on Smoking in Designated Areas in the Workplace

1. Measurements performed by:
 
2. Purpose of measurements (circle the applicable item):
(1)   Measurements prior to measures on smoking
(2)   Measurements to verify effectiveness of measures on smoking after implementation
(3)   Measurements to maintain effectiveness of measures on smoking
 
3. Implementation date, etc., of measurement
Implementation Date Smoking Situation Height of Measurement Point


Airborne dust     cm
CO     cm
Measurement Location Velocity of air Upper     cm

Middle     cm
Lower     cm

 
4. Rough sketch of designated smoking area, etc. (layout of main equipment, and measurement equipment)

 

 

 

 

 
* The sketch should include measurement points, special notes for each measurement point, and whether windows were open or closed. The flow of air from exhaust ventilation systems should be indicated using arrows. When air purifiers are used as a last resort, the direction of the air purifier exhaust should be indicated using arrows.
 
5. Maximum number of smokers allowed (no. of smokers) :         persons
    No. of smokers at time of measurement : Maximum of         persons
    No. of cigarettes during measurement period :         cigarettes
 
6. Size of designated smoking area, etc.: (Floor space area:   m2; Ceiling height:   meters)
 
7. Operating status of ventilation equipment, etc.
(1)   Operating status of ventilation equipment
1) If exhaust ventilation system is installed:
-Ventilation fan (24-hour continuous operation; Operation from    :    to    :    ; None)
2) If air purifier is installed as a last resort measure:
-Air purifier (24-hour continuous operation; Operation from    :    to    :    ; None)
(2)   Air volume capacity of ventilation equipment
1) If exhaust ventilation system is installed:
-Ventilation fan (        m3/min         x         units)
2) If air is purifier installed as a last resort measure:
-Air purifier (        m3/min         x         units)
(3)   Temperature (        degrees Celsius), humidity (        %)
(4)   Date of previous maintenance (Year/month/date         )

Reference Value
Airborne dust concentration
0.15 mg/m3 or less
CO
10 ppm or less
Air flow (1) Velocity of air: 0.2 m/s or higher
(2) Direction: From non-smoking area to designated smoking area, etc.

2. Concerning Measures Based on Measurement Results
If the air environment standard described in Section 1 above cannot be satisfied, improvements should be made by checking the items described below.

(1)   For installation of designated smoking rooms
1)   Does the exhaust ventilation equipment such as ventilating fans, etc., have a sufficient exhaust capacity?   checkbox
2)   (If the door is closed) Is there an air intake (louver) on the door?   checkbox
3)   (If the door is open) Has a hung drape, etc., been used to modify the entry point to make it smaller?   checkbox
4)   Is the maximum number of smokers allowed being observed?   checkbox
5)   Is there smoking beyond smoking boundaries?   checkbox
6)   Has the ventilation equipment been maintained?

   checkbox
 
(2)   For installation of smoking corners
1)   Does the exhaust ventilation equipment such as ventilating fans, etc., have a sufficient exhaust capacity?   checkbox
2)   Are there walls such as panels, etc., hung from the ceiling and partitions, etc.?   checkbox
3)   Is the maximum number of smokers allowed being observed?   checkbox
4)   Is there smoking beyond smoking boundaries?   checkbox
5)   Has the ventilation equipment been maintained?   checkbox
