ARE YOU LEAVING WORK AS HEALTHY AS YOU ARRIVED?
#CLEANTHEUNSEEN believes workers deserve to be protected from the invisible threat of poor air quality. You should leave your workplace as healthy as you entered it. By raising air quality as an important issue among your colleagues and with your employer you’ll help toward improving everyone’s quality of life.
But how can you tell if your workplace airquality needs improving? Maybe you’ve picked up on subtle tells that things could be better. Here are 10 simple tests that help you to #CLEANTHEUNSEEN.
Notice dark spots in your tissue when blowing your nose? That’s dust and harmful particles in your airways.
Brown or dirty water after your shower? Dust and chemicals are clinging to your body and hair.
Strong disinfectant smells? They may be masking dust and harmful pollutants in the air.
Have your family mentioned increased dirt or odor on your clothes or hair after work?
If you’re constantly sweeping floors and inventory, dust is being kicked back into the air – and your lungs.
Persistent cough, fever or throat irritation? It could be due to poor air quality, not common illness.
Notice dust or powder around machines despite regular cleaning? That’s a clear sign of hazardous air.
It’s not just because you are working hard but the lack of clean air causes you to fatigue faster and feel worn out quicker.
Dust and dirt on windowsills or surfaces means it’s also in the air and in your lungs.
See particles or haze in sunlight? What’s in the air is in your lungs, too.
STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT TO CLEAN WORKSPACE AIR
#CLEANTHEUNSEEN is standing up for workers’ health. Airborne pollutants like dust, fine particles, fumes, and more are often invisible to the naked eye, but they’re there and they’re harming people, businesses, and the environment.
Current UK air quality regulations fall short of WHO recommendations. By raising awareness with UK employers about the importance of clean workplace air, we hope to improve the lives of millions of people across the UK.
