“Safe Use of Humidity Meters”
Key Hazards
- Incorrect readings from contamination
- Sensor damage from moisture
- Inaccurate results from poor placement
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of humidity meters is important for facility managers, restoration crews, and HVAC technicians. Accurate readings depend on clean sensors and proper placement.
Workers should avoid placing meters near direct airflow or heating sources.
Different models require periodic calibration to maintain accuracy.
Keeping sensors clean prevents moisture or dust from affecting results.
Safety Reminders
- Avoid placing meters near vents.
- Check calibration regularly.
- Keep sensors clean and dry.
- Allow meters to stabilize before reading.
Ask the Crew
- Do we need to recalibrate our meters today?
- Are airflow sources affecting readings?
