As shelter-in-place restrictions ease across the country, Comfort First Products is proud to offer a workplace health solution through COVID-19 air filtering plans for business owners.
Though stay-at-home orders are being lifted throughout the country as the number of COVID-19 cases begin to drop, the adjustments that business owners need to make have only just begun. Now, organizations must determine how to keep their employees and customers safe from the novel coronavirus by instituting certain guidelines and restrictions. This has started on a behavioral level for most. Promoting hand washing, keeping six feet apart from others, temperature checks, and ensuring any employees who aren’t feeling well stay home are examples of precautions businesses are already implementing.

However, there are only so many measures that can be taken on an individual level to prevent the spread of COVID-19. There are also changes that must be made to the way the business thinks about workplace health and safety. Healthy cleaning practices are the first line of defense, targeting commonly used surfaces, for example. Many buildings are increasing the number of times the office is cleaned per week. However, what is arguably even more important is to make certain considerations around indoor air quality.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) has always been essential to health, and with the current pandemic, it is more important than ever to consider how to improve IAQ in your workplace. Because COVID-19 is a respiratory condition spread through droplets, this makes it imperative to think critically about how to reduce the virus in the air. One area of IAQ that is particularly relevant to the current situation is the HVAC system. The HVAC system has potential to spread the virus across an office if not dealt with in a proactive manner.
