Indoor Air Quality problems are a matter of increasing concern for employers, as office workers are empowered to call OSHA or take other legal recourse when they feel ill due to real or perceived ‘bad’ air. While effective remediation focuses on the technical side such as mold contamination or HVAC engineering issues, this presentation will concentrate on the management piece and will discuss the tools in place to address IAQ issues more broadly. We will discuss the value of an OSHMS such as ISO 45001 or ANSI Z10, and how to incorporate IAQ solutions into the management plan for a safer, healthier work place.
