Protecting the health and welfare of employees working in your facility requires maintaining good air quality throughout your warehouse. Poor air quality can hurt your staff’s ability to complete duties as well as your operating costs. Poor indoor air quality has been associated with symptoms including headaches, weariness, difficulty concentrating, and more, which can have an influence on employees’ long-term health and negatively affect both their productivity and the ability of your company to run smoothly and profitably. 

Luckily, there are various steps you can take to improve indoor air quality and safeguard your staff and brand if you can pinpoint the causes of poor indoor air quality.

To reduce air pollution in your warehouse, you must first determine what is causing it before you go out and purchase new systems and equipment. The most frequent causes include inadequate ventilation, careless upkeep of your warehouse’s HVAC systems, and numerous chemical processes that are common in industrial warehouses where chemicals are used in the manufacturing process. 

Boost Warehouse Ventilation 

To improve the overall air quality and safeguard the health of your employees, your warehouse must have better ventilation. This is especially important during the summer to lower the buildup of humidity and heat, which is one of the ventilation system’s key functions, and during the winter when carbon monoxide poisoning is more prevalent. Gas-powered vehicles, like forklifts, can produce dangerous gases and smoke that can accumulate and hurt the health of your employees. Start here if you’re not sure what to do first to improve the quality of the air indoors. 

Clean your air vents.

By removing tiny particles, contaminants, and chemicals from the air and drastically improving the air quality, hiring an air duct cleaning specialist to thoroughly clean your vents may help your HVAC system. Some professional machines are effective tools in dangerous working conditions because they can target and remove, particularly toxic pollutants and substances. You’ll notice a difference if you add a regular air duct cleaning service to your to-do list.

Replace filters frequently

Change any clogged filters in your HVAC system regularly to increase airflow, safeguard your staff, and enhance air quality. Filters that are clogged with dust or debris can limit airflow in your warehouse and affect the quality of the air in general. The filter should generally be changed three to four times each year, though this will depend on the working circumstances and environment.
