All industrial ventilation systems should be designed to provide enough air at each hood to properly protect the worker from excessive contaminant exposure.
The Indoor Air Quality is a significant health and safety concern. It’s caused by indoor environment, air contaminants and insufficient outdoor air intake.
Auspice Safety Inc. can help you to identify indoor air quality problems and to provide a safe and healthy workplace.
A good way to help ensure that a ventilation system is operating properly is by regularly checking the direct measurement of air flow rates/velocities at appropriate points.
The inspection must be carried out by a person who is qualified by training and experience to do so. He or she may be a worker in maintenance or some other area of the facility who has detailed knowledge of the system, and its operation and maintenance requirements. A qualified contractor with expertise in ventilation systems who is familiar with the system may also be qualified to conduct the inspection.
However, whether or not testing is done, for ongoing ventilation system effectiveness, regular visual inspections under a preventive maintenance program are necessary. Visual inspection is needed to ensure the integrity, cleanliness and proper operation of the system. (Source MLITSD)
