New Year Fresh Start

During the winter months, people spend more time inside, speaking, coughing and breathing close to each other without as much fresh air. Prevention rather than cure would certainly seem to be the order of the day. As attention now turns back to people returning to work and school, the demand for additional aids, such as Mia Air medical grade HEPA 14 filters, has increased. Trusted by numerous healthcare facilities, education settings, and commercial businesses, HEPA filters have been proven to reduce the threats of airborne viruses and bacteria significantly.

Towards the end of 2022, the government asked the Health and Safety Authority to draw up a new code of practice in response to a private members’ bill on workplace ventilation from Paul Murphy, the People Before Profit TD. The 38-page code will apply to all workplaces, with the regulations underpinning it due to being signed into law early this year. To maintain compliance with the HSA guidelines, employers must conduct a risk assessment of their workplace ventilation and make the results publicly available to all their workers.
