Ventilation and air conditioning during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

YOU MUST OBEY THE HSE!
You must: ─► identify what work activity or situations might cause transmission of the virus ─► think about who could be at risk ─► decide how likely it is that someone could be exposed ─► act to remove the activity or situation, or if this isn’t possible, control the risk
This guidance will help you identify poorly ventilated areas of your workplace and provides steps you can take to improve ventilation. It will apply in most workplaces.
