Healthy Workplaces - The Impact of Indoor Air Quality
Most of us spend a significant amount of time indoors, yet the quality of the air we breathe is often overlooked until productivity dips or health issues arise. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) has a direct impact on the health and performance of every employee, regardless of your industry.
To help you navigate these requirements, we hosted this webinar with Brian McHugh Senior Inspector, Occupational Health Division within the Health and Safety Authority. Brian has twenty-two years’ experience as an inspector with the HSA across multiple sectors including Manufacturing, Construction, Agriculture and Market Surveillance.
This webinar will address the Essentials of IAQ including:
• An introduction to the HSA Code of Practice for Indoor Air Quality and relevant legislation.
• Health effects associated with poor indoor air quality,
• Using the COP to help employers ensure workplace air quality through managing ventilation, pollutants, and environmental comfort.
• Conducting a Risk Assessment: A systematic approach to identifying hazards and implementing controls tailored to your workplace.
• Inspection finding and statistics obtained from the HSA’s work in this area.
