What are the New Health & Safety Concerns?The health and safety of buildings' occupants and visitors through “Best Cleaning Practices”, slip and fall Prevention and clean air have always been a primary concern for building designers, owners and managers. Sustainable buildings, or green buildings focus of reducing building impacts on human health, safety and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better operation, maintenance, and removal of waste have raised the bar on what is required in Health and Safety. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), elimination of hazardous and non-green chemicals for cleaning and maintenance, ASHRAE 62 (Fresh Air Requirements), mold remediation and prevention and graffiti prevention are new paradigms of this time. Why have Health & Safety Concerns Changed?Many feel that sustainable and green solutions are ineffective, more time consuming and cost prohibitive especially during inflationary business times when fiscal budgetary compliance is more essential than ever. However, the health and safety of building occupants and visitors can never be compromised…regardless the cost. When we make decisions for healthy and safe buildings, we make decisions to protect our people, prevent Sick Buildings, maintain optimal performance, reduce pollution and reduce our carbon footprint. Essentially, decisions for health and safety put our people first and give us more value for the investments we make both now and in the future.
