PROTECTING EMPLOYEE HEALTH
Mark Graybill, P.E., HB McClure Engineer
Much of the population is ready for a return to some normality after months of not working or working from home due to COVID-19, but it does not mean the virus is gone. What can we do to reduce the potential transmission of COVID-19 and future flulike viruses in our workplaces? As our offices begin to open in Pennsylvania, we need to minimize the risk of transmission to our employees and customers. As a mechanical engineer specializing in HVAC, I view this challenge in the same way I approach other industrial indoor air quality challenges. Try to capture as much of the contaminant at the source, then filter and dilute the rest. Here are other steps we have been helping clients take to reduce the transmission of viruses in the workplace.
