How can you prevent unhealthy air at work?

Minimize sources of indoor air pollution.

The best way to guard against harm is to prevent or minimize the sources of indoor air pollution.
Employers are responsible for providing safe work conditions, including healthy air.

 Make sure your work place is 100 percent tobacco free.

 Store food properly. Dispose of garbage correctly and regularly.
 Do not bring in products or chemicals that have strong odors or could give off harmful
emissions.
 Clean up water spills and report leaks immediately. 
 Be aware of the hazards and safe handling procedures for materials on the job. This
information must be available to you and usually is provided in Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS), employer instructions and container warning labels.
 Let your supervisor or building maintenance staff know immediately if you suspect a
problem with the air indoors.

Make sure that the air in your office can circulate freely. 

 Keep air vents open. Do not put papers, furniture or equipment in front of or on top of
vents.
 The building's heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems should be well designed,
maintained and operated.

Reduce potential exposure.

Some jobs are more likely to expose people to potentially harmful substances. The most
important ways of reducing potential exposure include the following steps:

 Eliminate the use of hazardous materials.

 If it can't be eliminated, substitute a hazardous material with a nontoxic alternative.
 Enclose the process or containers where a chemical is being used so it never enters the air
you breathe.
 Run exhaust ventilation systems so that they function effectively.
 Consider changes to administrative practices and housekeeping practices to minimize
exposures.
 Wear appropriate protective equipment. Comprehensive lung health protection may
include respirators and other protective gear, such as gloves, aprons, goggles and face
shields. If respirators are part of the gear you are given to protect yourself, be sure to
wear them.
