Indoor Air Quality Investigation

Recent history has shown an increased awareness of indoor air quality and the need to provide investigation, monitoring and reporting services on a regular basis.

Poor indoor air quality or “sick building syndrome” are terms often used by building occupants where the health affects seem to reduce once they leave work. Headaches, skin irritation, nausea and headaches are all possible symptoms.

Many sources of indoor pollutants have been implicated such as tobacco smoke, ozone, formaldehyde, airborne dust and carbon dioxide to name a few. Other environmental factors include the temperature, ventilation and relative humidity of the working environment.

Health Safety Environment Australia consultants will visit your workplace, investigate and establish possible sources of the indoor air quality concerns.

Rather than trying to test for everything, we will measure factors that may be associated with the your areas of concern. A questionnaire completed by employees is taken into account when identifying workplace locations affected. The outcome of this initial process and inspection may then require air monitoring for contaminants.

Significant penalties exist for organisations that fail to comply with industry regulations. An indoor air quality investigation may be required if the air quality and working conditions are impacting the environment of your employees.

It is vital that air quality issues are resolved quickly to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all staff. While indoor air quality in the office environment may seem a minor issue, it can potentially pose health risks to your employees in either the short term or over a significant period

Understanding the indoor air quality is imperative to the ongoing commitment to compliance and the healthy and wellbeing of the employees and visitors to your workplace
