Health & Safety Regulations

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. These regulations require that effective provision should be made to ensure that every enclosed workplace is ventilated by a sufficient quantity of fresh or purified air. Where ventilation is provided by mechanical means the regulations require those mechanical ventilation systems to be maintained (including cleaned as appropriate) in an efficient state, working order and in good repair. Failure to carry out these duties is a breach of the regulations.

The Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) Regulation 6 states: Mechanical Ventilation Systems, including Air Conditioning Systems must be regularly tested and cleaned to ensure that they do not contain anything which may contaminate the air.

COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations. This requires an employer to make a formal assessment of health risk from Hazardous substances. Air quality must be assessed for substantial quantities of hazardous substances. Employers must ensure that employees are not exposed to such risks and that such hazards are adequately controlled.
