Article Presents Options for Employers During Dangerous Air Quality Warnings

摘要

High-heat days that cause ground-level ozone, and wildfires and pollutants such as soot, ash and wood smoke that release particulate matter can lead to dangerous air quality. Government air quality alert programs warn the public of adverse health effects due to poor air quality and encourage reduced outdoor activity; however, OSHA currently has no indoor air quality standards in place to protect workers during these events. An article from Com-stock's discusses how employers can determine what to do during unhealthy indoor air quality events and how to best prepare for future events.
