What is ISO 22995?

ISO 22995:2021 provides a systematic framework for mine operators to assess, design, implement, and control ventilation systems that reduce airborne contaminants, heat, and other harmful exposures. The standard outlines best practices for managing airflow, controlling dust and gases, and ensuring breathable air throughout mining operations.

As a consulting firm, Growth Management Corporation offers end-to-end ISO 22995 implementation support, including gap analysis, risk-based design strategies, documentation preparation, staff training, and internal audits.

Why is ISO 22995 important?

With increasing pressure from environmental regulations and safety standards, mine owners are expected to meet global benchmarks for workplace health. ISO 22995:2021 is vital for mitigating operational hazards related to air quality in underground mines. Investing in this standard protects worker safety, minimizes ventilation-related energy costs, and strengthens legal compliance, especially in jurisdictions where air quality regulation is tightening.

What are the benefits of ISO 22995?

  1. Defines technical and operational requirements for air quality in mines
  2. Promotes continuous airflow management and monitoring
  3. Reduces occupational health risks associated with toxic gases and dust
  4. Offers guidance on emergency ventilation responses
  5. Aligns with sustainability and health & safety management systems (e.g., ISO 45001)
