Critical to the health, safety, and work performance of your employees is adequate air ventilation. Issues that typically arise in warehousing are air quality, air contamination, and humidity. Warehouses store toxic chemicals of every type, no matter how careful you endeavor to be, ultimately accidents do happen.
Prescribed air limits are regulated and accommodating that is important. For instance, for a heavy work environments it is recommended that at .5% liters per person per hour, required is 3.9 to 5.3 liters and for very heavy work environments 5/3 to 6.4 liters per hour. In addition is the importance of using commercial filtration systems to reduce air born infections, carbon dioxide, and humidity.
In order to achieve this or better, appropriate equipment is necessary. Ideal of course is fresh air that can be provided by fans, but for the majority of warehouses, more drastic measures are needed by the use of velocity extractor units that are attached to a wall or roof, which expels dust, pollen, bacteria, odors, smoke, and other forms of contaminants. The air must be changed often.
There is a multitude of options to select in ventilation systems. Important to the selection process is to consider the type of work done in the warehouse, what is stored, square footage, meeting regulatory standards and the welfare of all your workers.
