 Indoor Air QualityThe Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992, which apply to all premises as of 1 January 2006, require that effective provision should be made to ensure that every enclosed workplace is ventilated by a sufficient quantity of fresh or purified air.
Where this ventilation is provided by mechanical means the regulations require those mechanical ventilations systems to be maintained (including cleaned as appropriate) in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.
Mechanical ventilation systems (including air-conditioning systems) should be regularly and properly cleaned, tested and maintained to ensure that they are kept free from anything, which may contaminate the air.
A Spectrum Indoor Air Quality Audit will assess the cleanliness of the ducted air system, to include the work areas, to ensure that temperature, relative humidity, dust, bacteria and fungal levels do not exceed those associated with respiratory tract and eye irritations together with adverse reactions in the individuals in the working environment.
Spectrum can also investigate complaints from staff which are being directed to the office air conditioning system.
