Good ventilation in the workplace can help reduce the spread of COVID-19
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has updated guidance to help businesses identify poor ventilation in work areas and take practical steps to improve it.
It is a legal requirement for employers to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air (ventilation) in enclosed areas of the workplace and, alongside cleaning, hygiene and handwashing, good ventilation is one of the best ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
HSE has also made available a series of new ventilation guidance videos setting out the key advice and examples of how businesses have improved ventilation to reduce COVID-19 transmission. With winter approaching, HSE has also revised the guidance on balancing ventilation and keeping warm.
