Sample Completed 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
May 9, 2003 -Smoking is concentrated
during lunch breaks.
-Total number of cigarettes is
approximately 35 per day. 		Airborne dust 120cm
CO 120cm
Measurement Location Velocity of air Upper 150cm
Smoking room, 5th floor,
Kasumigaseki Kaikan		 Middle 100cm
Lower 50cm

 
4. Rough sketch of designated smoking area, etc. (layout of main equipment, and measurement equipment) Rough sketch of designated smoking area, etc.
* 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) :  10 persons
    No. of smokers at time of measurement : Maximum of  9 persons
    No. of cigarettes during measurement period : 24 cigarettes
 
6. Size of designated smoking area, etc.:
(Floor space area: 21.6m2; Ceiling height:2.7meters)
 
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 9:00 to17:00; 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 (15 m3/min  x 4units)
2) If air is purifier installed as a last resort measure:
-Air purifier (        m3/min  x         units)
(3)   Temperature ( 28 degrees Celsius), humidity ( 55 %)
(4)   Date of previous maintenance (Year/month/date March14,2003)
