Do I need an air quality assessment for my business?
You May Need One If:
- You’re in a high-risk setting (e.g., factories, workshops, labs, garages, kitchens and offices with poor ventilation of a high number of people in one place)
- There are complaints and signs of poor air quality
- Hazardous substances are used or created
Why Do It Anyway?Even if it’s not legally required now, an air quality assessment can:
- Help meet your legal duty of care under health and safety law
- Improve employee wellbeing and productivity
- Identify issues before they become serious (e.g., hidden mould, poor ventilation)
