Breathing Air in Industrial Settings
Clean and safe breathable air is critical for commercial and industrial facilities. Industrial processes can introduce contaminants such as dust, mist or fumes into the air. These contaminants put employees’ health and safety at serious risk. The risk becomes greater when employees are working in enclosed spaces, such as manufacturing plants and other industrial settings. To ensure the safety of all employees, employers must understand the risks of poor indoor air quality and the importance of meeting Grade D breathable air standards in the United States and CSA Standard Z180.1-13 in Canada.
