If you own or operate a commercial
or industrial business, making sure that you and your employees have good air
quality can mean the difference between higher profits and productivity or
employee illness, loss of productivity, lawsuits and more. One
report states that air pollution from coal plants, for example, kills over
13,000 people per year, and The American Lung Association has estimated that the
health costs related to air pollution-based cancer, lung disease and
respiratory illness costs U.S. companies around $185 billion per year. For companies with employees working in poor
air quality conditions, those illnesses and deaths mean one thing: loss--loss
of productivity, loss of revenue, and loss of a business’s good name.
Good industrial air quality at
the work site is fairly easy to maintain, however, with the right industrial air scrubber systems in place. By
removing dust, fumes, and other pollutants from the workplace, it has been
shown that employee down time from air quality-related illness can be reduced by over 90%. OSHA has specific
regulations that dictate how many air changes are required in certain
industrial settings, but in general, any situation where employees are working
at individual stations or sites where pollutants are being produced (such as
welding, laser engraving, soldering, etc), it is recommended that you have one portable
source-capture air purifier removing particles and gases at the source before
they can be inhaled. Many business owners also install an overall room air
scrubber that attaches to the air conditioner system as an extra measure to
remove any remaining pollutants from work areas and offices. Some businesses
also use portable commercial air cleaners, as well, so that the air purifier
can be moved from site to site or room to room to ensure that the air is clean
wherever needed. Having the proper air filtration systems in place not only
protects you and your employees, but also makes it very difficult for anyone to
attempt any litigation against you for negligence.
It is important, however, to
remember a couple of things with regard to industrial air cleaners: First, time is of
the essence: don’t wait around any longer if you know you have unfiltered air
in the workplace—the sooner you install the right commercial air cleaner
system, the less chance there is that you’ll have problems with employee
health, lawsuits, OSHA fines, etc. Second, all industrial air filtration systems
are not the same. Make sure you choose a quality air cleaner manufacturer, such
as Electrocorp, with units that clean the air very well. The best commercial
air cleaners include true HEPA filters to remove harmful particles, carbon
filters with larger amounts (i.e. 36 to 100 lbs or more) of specially-activated
carbon to remove chemical vapors, gases, VOC’s, etc. Electrocorp can easily custom design an affordable
commercial air purifier system specifically for your situation and can even
tune the carbon to remove certain types of pollutants. Third, let your
employees know that you are installing a quality commercial air filtration system—it will let them know that
you are taking steps to ensure their safety and it reminds them that you care.
This step alone can sharply reduce the chances of OSHA complaints and lawsuits.
