December 15, 2010 in Albany, NY
This program is open to both labor and management representatives on
preventing and solving indoor air quality and contamination problems due to
construction/ building renovations. In an office setting IAQ complaints are more
often caused by a combination of conditions rather than solely due to a specific
chemical contaminant. Ventilation, temperature, off-gassing of office materials,
noise, and stress may impact workers health, resulting in symptoms such as
headaches, irritated eyes or fatigue. Workers with pre-existing conditions such
as asthma, chemical sensitivity or immune-deficiency diseases may be more
sensitive to certain environmental conditions than others. H&S Committees,
and on-site labor and management networks are crucial to dealing with IAQ issues
quickly and effectively. The training program will cover the essentials of
preventative measures, remediation practices, and building operations necessary
to eliminate or reduce the possibility for exposure to indoor
environmental contaminants including asbestos, common chemicals, such as
cleaning agents, paints or renovation materials, and others. Participants will
design an indoor air quality action plan for preventing negative health effects
related to indoor environmental contaminants, and focus on using H&S
Committees and local L/M representatives to effectively address these issues.
Target Population:
Health & Safety Committee members and Labor and Management personnel who
deal with indoor air quality and renovation problems in various state agencies.
The programs are open to all Labor and Management Chairs of the Agency Level Health and Safety Committees as well as building managers, supervisors, and other building related personnel. Each agency Health & Safety Committee is invited to send up to three (3) representatives to the program. Selection of participants shall be done through a joint consultation between the agency and labor chairs of the committees.
