Abstract
A new International Standard has been developed and published for the design and administration of an environmental survey. It provides a practical framework for Ergonomists and Occupational Hygienists who are required to conduct assessments of the physical environment. It gives guidance on objective, subjective and behavioural assessments. It also details a structured framework for the presentation and interpretation of results.
