ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION FOR WORKPLACES, OHSAct (85 of 1993)
VENTILATION AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Ventilation is the process of “changing” or replacing used air in any space to provide improved indoor air quality. Ventilation is employed in workplaces to control temperature, replenish oxygen, or remove moisture, odours, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide. It is also important to keep interior building air circulating, and to prevent stagnation of the interior air.
VENTILATION OF WORKPLACES IS REQUIRED IN TERMS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION FOR WORKPLACES, OHSAct (85 of 1993), EMPLOYERS MUST ENSURE THAT
EXPOSURE LIMIT
The occupational exposure limit for substances is not exceeded
EXPLOSIVE LIMIT
The concentration of any explosive or flammable gas, vapour or dust does not exceed the explosive limit for that substance.
TURBINE SOLUTIONS
Embrace the power of the wind with our wind energy solutions. We offer comprehensive wind turbine installation.
Carbon Monoxide
The time-weighted average of carbon monoxide does not exceed one half percent by volume
Carbon Dioxide Volume
The time-weighted average of carbon dioxide does not exceed three percent by volume
Thorough examination and tests should be carried out at least once every 24 months to ensure the LEV equipment remains in good working order, as required in terms of Regulation 12 of the Regulations for Hazardous Chemical Substances, OHSAct (85 of 1993)
ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS DUE TO POOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY MAY INCLUDE:
– Headaches, fatigue, respiratory irritation, nose bleeds, dry eyes, coughing and allergy. All these negative effects contribute to poor productivity and absenteeism in the workplace.
– We are an Approved Inspection Authority for the evaluation of ventilation and ventilation. Concept Clean Africa conducts general ventilation and local extraction ventilation surveys to assist your business to comply with legal requirements, as well as perform indoor air quality surveys in occupied spaces, or investigate complaints of poor indoor air quality, to ensure conformance to recognised indoor air quality standards.
– We will provide you with a report detailing our results, give reasons why areas did not conform standards and provide practical solutions to correct the sub-standard extraction velocity or improve the ventilation and indoor air quality of the indoor environment.
WE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE FOLLOWING VENTILATION SURVEYS:
– General building ventilation
– Indoor air quality
– Sick Building Syndrome investigations / Duct Eye Inspections into HVAC
MORE DETAILS ON OUR PRODUCTS
ENVIROCON DEODORISER
Concept Clean Africa uses market leading cleaning, sanitation and deodorising products imported form the U.S to achieve our professional results.
EnviroCON is a mild bacteriostat and fungistat that we use when the primary objective of the treatment is to remove odors associated with mold, mildew or bacteria. EnviroCON is unscented and is NOT a perfume, cover-up or masking agent.
It works by oxidizing the causes of these odors, not by adding its own scent to the air coming from your ducts. EnviroCON is an effective bacteriostat and fungistat that inhibits the reproduction of odor-causing microorganisms such as mold and mildew. Its active ingredient is Chlorine Dioxide (0.1%). This product is completely safe for building occupants including children and pets. No evacuation is necessary during or after application. When the product dries completely (in an hour or two), there is almost no residue and what little is present is inert and has no further chemical action.
However, please note that, even with a product as mild as EnviroCON, if you or other building occupants have a history of sensitivity to chemical treatments, it is wisest NOT to have us apply this treatment in your air ducts.
Oxine A.D Sanitiser
Concept Clean Africa uses market leading cleaning, sanitation and deodorising products imported form the U.S to achieve our professional results.
OXINE is a true sanitizer and much stronger than EnviroCON. We apply OXINE in the air ducts of our customers when the primary objective is to kill 100% of all mold, mildew and viruses/bacteria that may still persist at a microscopic level even after a thorough duct cleaning has been carried out. OXINE has been shown to be effective even against microbes such as Stachybotrys chartarum, Mycobacterium bovis (Tuberculosis), Aspergillus fumigatus spores, Legionella pneumophila, Mucor sp., Penicillium roquefortii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
OXINE is often the sanitizer product of choice for those among our customers who have family members with asthma or severe allergies. In many cases, these customers are intent on removing from their ductwork any and all possible triggers of allergic reactions.
Our technicians use respirators while they apply OXINE. All building occupants are required to evacuate during the treatment and for at least one hour afterward. Like EnviroCON, however, OXINE becomes entirely inert and odourless after it is dry. Its active ingredient, Chlorine Dioxide (2%), provides no residual action at all after drying, which means no off- gassing of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). VOCs are infamous for causing greater distress to highly allergic people than the microbes they are supposed to target.
Even though this product is strong and effective, its toxicity is so low that the EPA assigned it a Category III toxicity rating (category IV is the lowest). However, as with EnviroCON, if you or other building occupants have a history of sensitivity to chemical treatments, it is wisest NOT to have us apply this treatment in your air ducts. The price for this treatment is $150 when applied as part of a full system cleaning.
