OSHA Alert: COVID-19 Guidance on Ventilation in the Workplace

FROM THE DESK OF RANDALL A. KROCKA

SMOHIT Administrator

OSHA recently released guidance on ensuring adequate ventilation in the workplace to help reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. Guidance includes increasing the HVAC systems’ outdoor air intake, and opening windows and other sources of fresh air when possible, considering using HEPA fan/filtration systems to increase clean air, and more.

The agency will be issuing a series of ongoing alerts designed to keep workers safe and healthy. OSHA encourages employers to work with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning professional to consider steps to optimize building ventilation. A trained and certified HVAC professional can ensure that the ventilation system is operating as intended.
