Stay-at-Home orders are being lifted slowly across the country and this means that facilities will once again be bustling with life. People will return to their desk and their offices. Students will once again walk through their school’s front doors. As our workforce and children return to a new normal, a question hangs over all our heads.
How should facilities prepare for the return of people?
From OSHA.Gov’s Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19
The CDC and OSHA have released guidelines for employers and facility owners to decrease the spread of COVID-19 and lower the impact of the virus in their environment. The Spanish Flu pandemic occurred in 1918 before most buildings had central air conditioning. The COVID-19 pandemic has been certainly an eye-opening experience. Having a healthy indoor environment has never been more crucial than now. We should not have to worry about disease transmission indoors.
The guides laid out by the government are not new to us at Way. In fact, the recommendations are part of our core services. We can assist your facility’s strategic return to the new normal that is on the horizon.
Every HVAC system has a maintenance schedule needed to maintain and optimize its performance. Our staff can assess your working/learning environment and determine how to ensure you can breathe easier. Studies show that a well-maintained facility deactivates pathogens and reduces allergens in your facility environment.
Together, we can decrease the spread.
