The Aussie climate throws plenty of curveballs. Fluctuating temperatures, heat, cold, and airborne pollutants make it difficult to find the right balance when it comes to the safety and comfort of workers. We’ve all experienced the impact this has on our health, morale, and performance. Prolonged exposure can lead to fatigue, lower concentration, decreased productivity and a higher risk of accidents.
SafeWork NSW states that workplace temperatures should be between 20 and 26 degrees, depending on outdoor air temperature and the physicality of the work performed. Other factors that affect thermal comfort include humidity, radiant heat from workplace machinery, and airflow. This highlights the importance of investing in efficient cooling and heating solutions such as industrial fans, coolers, and heaters, to maintain a comfortable workplace environment.
“Temperature isn’t the only risk to workers’ health, but toxic fumes and dust, which can have lifelong damage to lungs and airways, and even cause cancer,” says Ian Wymer, Fanmaster Director. “It’s the responsibility of business owners to protect their people, by removing dust and toxic gases using various ventilation solutions, including fixed, ducted, or portable exhaust fans and air filtration systems.”
If creating a safe, comfortable and productive workplace is important to you, Fanmaster’s industrial cooling, heating and ventilation solutions will help you reap the rewards.
