Create a safe and healthy work environment with air purifiers

Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, all our worlds have changedIn the interests of safety, more attention has to be paid to the way things are set up in a work environment. 

This means that our workplaces have come under considerable scrutiny, and have to be cleaned of any bacteria or potentially infectious substances easily and regularly. There has to be space between different workstations to avoid the potential for virus transmission. There has to be steps taken and things done to create a work environment that is both legal and comfortable for your workforce. 

Slingsby has naturally moved with the times and looked to provide businesses and customers up and down the country with PPE and workwear to help them cope with the changes and challenges of operating at the current time. 

Something that you may not have considered adding to the mix however are air purifiers. These can play an important role in maintaining a healthy and safe work environment. The latest Slingsby blog explains how they could be advantageous to you. 

The benefits of air purifiers

Air purifiers aim to extract unwanted and harmful particles from an environment. They target pollutant particles and can help to support the creation of clean air within a given space. 

The kind of particles that air purifiers can target and help remove include things like asbestos, radon and even those which cause some people to have asthmatic reactions. 

Purifiers can also help to remove any harmful chemicals that may be floating around, as well as helping to eradicate unpleasant odours.  

Why could air purifiers be beneficial at the moment?

One of the ways COVID-19 is spread is by droplets that are released into the air from the mouth, nose or eyes of an infected person.  

This means there is a higher chance of a person catching the Coronavirus in a contained space that is also occupied by an infected person. This is why we have to wear masks in stores for example, as this limits the chances of encountering or releasing dangerous COVID particles into the wider airspace. 

Air purifiers look to get rid of unwanted and dangerous particles, and there is evidence that some air purifiers help tackle and get rid of airborne viruses. 

Air purifiers with HEPA filters could therefore have the potential to help remove Coronavirus particles from the air, thus lowering the chances of it being caught. Though it is too early to know for sure whether air purifiers are able to successfully remove COVID particles from an airspace, COVID particles fall within the particle-size range for HEPA filters. 

There are a number of factors that will contribute to an air purifier’s ability to capture airborne viruses, including the type of HEPA filter in place and the size of the room.  

What an air purifier offers is the chance for spaces to be cleansed of unwelcome particles. If this also includes the COVID-19 virus then that’s absolutely fantastic. But the chance to eradicate any unwelcome particles will be of benefit to you and your workforce during these stressful times.
