Employers are required by law to provide adequate fresh air in the workplace, whether through windows, doors and vents, and/or use of fans and ventilation ducts. This is particularly important now, given that good ventilation helps prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The new guidances ‘Ventilation during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic: Latest advice on keeping workplaces safe from COVID-19’ and ‘Coronavirus (COVID-19): ventilation guidance’ provide basic, practical guidance to help employers comply with their legal obligations and reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.
