How Clean is Your Air?

The state of health of your work environment equates to the state of health of your company. A close examination of the air you breathe within your workspace may expose some major concerns and potential threats to those who work there and ultimately to the success of your project.

“Healthy indoor air is recognized as a basic right,” states Darrell Hynes, marketing and BDM of Newfoundland and Labrador at Belfor Property Restoration. “The quality of air breathed is an important determinant of one’s health and well-being.”

Facility and maintenance managers in the energy industry struggle with reducing the risk of viral bacterial and microbial contaminants that make their way into the indoor environment through pathways known as HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning).

Indoor air maintenance plans that include periodic cleaning and checking for contaminants within the HVAC system are the most qualified means to preventing incidents and avoiding illnesses.

Nurturing a clean air environment should be conducted by experts with a full comprehension of the systems they’re servicing and a knowledge of the risks—using preventative techniques and state-of-the-art equipment and technologies.

Members of the team at Belfor in Newfoundland are leaders in the areas of inspection and cleaning of exhaust systems. For more than a decade, and as the winner of the 2013–2014 Consumer Choice Award in the categories of Duct Cleaning and Fire & Flood Damage Restoration, they take full pride in attending to commercial and residential needs in public and private facilities.

“Knowledge of indoor air quality, its health significance, and the factors that cause poor quality are keys to enabling action by relevant stakeholders to maintain clean indoor air,” says Hynes.

Robotic inspection and cleaning systems include video capturing and portable COMPORT. A pneumatic rotary brush system ensures the most thorough processing and completes without disrupting industrial production.

Belfor makes sure that stale gases, dust, debris, and dirt are removed for their clients and are replaced with streams of oxygen-rich air—free of contaminants and infectious airborne microbes.

When considering your company’s concerns for a preventative ventilation system, choose one who is NADCA certified and has flexibility to accommodate operational budgets, production schedules, and has a dedication to preventing hazardous conditions long before they become perceptible health and safety factors.
