Pollutants in the Workplace: Air Quality

9/2/2019 (Permalink)

Your employees health is a high priority.

There are many different factors that can improve quality of life in a work place.  A clean work environment, a great manager, or even casual Fridays can make great employees work even harder, but there are silent factors that you might not even know exist that can be harming your employees work capacity.  

Air Quality greatly influences the performance as well as the health of your employees. So, what is indoor air quality (IAQ)?  OSHA defines IAQ by how inside air can affect a person's health, comfort, and ability to work.  It can include temperature, humidity, lack of outside air (poor ventilation), mold from water damage, or exposure to other chemicals.   

If your building is hot or stuffy or has a musty smell, your air quality might be lowering productivity and the health of your employees.  You should get your walls and air levels checked immediately if you think this is occurring.
