IECRM Safety Forum:  Air Quality

Please join IECRM's industry partners and contractor members for this very important Safety Forum on Air Quality.  Air pollution is the presence of one or more contaminants in the atmosphere/air, such as dust, fumes, gas, mist, odor, smoke or vapor, in quantities and duration that can be injurious to human health.

Every year, dozens of workers die and thousands more become ill while working in poor air quality conditions. Air quality issues can cause injuries ranging from short-term irritation and breathing problems to severe, chronic diseases and even death.
