INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Air handling units and ducts contaminated with dust, mould and mildew are the perfect breeding grounds for bacterial growth, spreading through the building's duct system into the air you breathe.

Clean air is not only important to a building's occupants. As an employer or building owner, you are legally responsible for providing a safe workplace, free of foreseeable risks that may result from a contaminated HVAC system.

Preventative maintenance contracts can be tailored to suit your building's requirements. These may include:

• periodic cleaning of return air and outside air ducts
• inspection and repair of air filter bypass
• good "housekeeping” practices on HVAC hygiene.

Not only does this provide a legally defendable position, it also makes good business sense.
