Presented by Dr Michael Taylor (Principal Consultant/Mycologist) and David Houser (Team Manager, Property Risk), Greencap
What’s covered?
2020 was a year that fundamentally altered the spaces and ways in which we work. Lasting impacts from the pandemic include a significant increase in working from home, physical changes to the layout of offices and workspaces, and revised occupancy rates in our offices and buildings.
In this webinar, we look at some of the quick checks you can do to ensure your indoor environment (including considerations such as temperature, humidity, mould, dust, viral particles, ventilation) is optimised for healthy working spaces, and ergonomic reviews you may need to undertake for the post-pandemic workplace.
The webinar is facilitated by two of Greencap’s IEQ and Ergonomic Assessment specialists, Dr Michael Taylor and David Hauser, who set out the working environment ‘101’ items and provide recommendations for the ‘quick fixes’ and more substantial changes required to optimise the indoor environmental quality of workplaces.
