Air Quality, both Internally & Externally, have never been so high on our agenda of importance. The recent Covid epidemic have certainly brought the issue to all our attention – and now HSE and Governments are reacting with policies to improve the Air Quality to a level our bodies deserve.
Generally, if you can see that you have an issue, you can then do something about it.
Unfortunately, with Air Quality, it is not often a problem that you can actually see. It is known as the ‘Invisible Killer’ and especially construction dust, which is being called ‘The New Asbestos’.
Poor Air Quality, can have a drastic impact on our health. It is strongly linked to a variety of severe illnesses such as aggravated asthma, headaches and anxiety, lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, liver damage, liver damage, blood disease, cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (COPD)
In short, it is costing our businesses money, it is impacting our health and it is causing our NHS extreme pressures, as Air Quality related issues is now their No1 concern….
But there are solutions, no matter which industry you work in.
Our clients saw a 53% increase in productivity and an impressive 32.7% reduction in sick days, where the correct Air Quality solutions were implemented.
There are already laws in place to protect the public, employee’s and visitors. The Health and Safety Workplace Act 1974 is in place, to provide a safe environment for all employees, and applies to all companies.
The responsibility includes making sure that their internal air, is better than that of outside, Generally, this is not the case with the internal air being 5 times worse, and can be considerably higher – it is having a serious impact on all health.
