Why air filtration is essential in business premises

Jasun October blog 1 pic

Ensuring clean air in business premises is a vital investment in employee health and productivity.

With most people spending a significant portion of their day indoors at work, the quality of indoor air can have a profound impact on health and wellbeing.

The health benefits of clean air for employees

Air filtration systems play a crucial role in removing airborne pollutants such as dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). For employees, this means:

  • Reduced respiratory issues: Cleaner air helps prevent and alleviate conditions like asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses. This is better for everyone at work and responsible employers are duty-bound to this. But it’s also good for your business, as it leads to fewer sick days and an improved working environment for all.
  • Lower risk of illness transmission: High-efficiency filters can capture airborne pathogens, reducing the spread of colds, flu and other infectious illnesses – especially important in shared office spaces.
  • Improved cognitive function: Studies show that poor air quality can impair concentration and decision-making. By filtering out pollutants and maintaining optimal CO₂ levels, businesses can help employees stay alert and focused.
  • Enhanced overall wellbeing: Clean air contributes to better sleep, reduced headaches and less fatigue, all of which support higher morale and job satisfaction.

Legal and business advantages

UK regulations, such as the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, require employers to provide a safe working environment, which includes maintaining good air quality.

Investing in air filtration not only helps meet these legal obligations but also demonstrates a commitment to employee welfare.

Health & productivity

Ultimately, prioritising air filtration is about more than compliance – it’s about creating a healthier, more productive workplace.

Clean air supports happier, healthier employees, which in turn drives business success. In today’s world, every UK business should see air filtration as a necessity, not a luxury.

Legionnaires’ Disease: symptoms and prevention through water management

Legionnaires’ disease is a serious form of pneumonia caused by inhaling water droplets containing Legionella bacteria.

These bacteria thrive in warm, stagnant water environments – commonly found in cooling towers, hot tubs, plumbing systems and decorative fountains.

Though rare, outbreaks can be severe and often occur in places like hotels, hospitals and office buildings where large water systems are in use.

Symptoms to watch for

The disease typically starts with flu-like symptoms that intensify over time.

Common indicators include:

• High fever and chills
• Cough, often dry or mildly productive
• Muscle aches and headaches
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue, and sometimes gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhoea.

Legionnaires’ disease can be life-threatening, especially for older adults, smokers or individuals with weakened immune systems.

Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are crucial for recovery.

Prevention through water management

The key to preventing Legionnaires’ disease lies in proper water system maintenance.

Proactive steps include:

1. Regular cleaning and disinfecting of cooling towers and water tanks
2. Maintaining appropriate water temperatures (hot water above 60°C, cold below 20°C)
3. Preventing stagnation by flushing infrequently used taps and showers
4. Monitoring and controlling biofilm and scale buildup
5. Conducting routine water testing for Legionella presence.

Effective water management isn't just about compliance – it’s about protecting public health.

With diligence and proper procedures, organisations can dramatically reduce the risk of outbreaks and ensure safe water for everyone.

Clean water doesn’t just hydrate – it safeguards lives.
