Sick Building syndrome
In extreme cases, indoor air quality can lead to a high number of occupants suffering ill health related to the work place. However, it should be noted that very few buildings are actually found to be ‘sick’ following scientific investigation. More commonly it is a number of individuals in a building who have developed a hypersensitivity to microbial or chemical contaminants and as a result suffer adverse health effects. simply moving an occupant can sometimes resolve a compliant.
However, sick building investigations can often be very costly to the employer both in remedying and identifying the problems (if possible at all), as well as the time employees have off work as sick leave. It is therefore good environmental management practice to implement good design and conduct close monitoring as a prevention, and reassurance measure.
