Maintain environmental conditions by keeping your industrial facility, warehouse or workshop adequately ventilated. According to recent studies at Sydney University, there’s a rapid deterioration of employee performance if workplace temperatures rise outside of a set range [1]. Mitigate industrial risks by installing ventilation and cooling solutions to maintain optimal temperatures, airflow, and humidity levels.
According to SafeWork, the temperature should be maintained within a range of 20-26 degrees for most tasks, however, it can be lower for higher levels of physical activity [2]. To prevent air stagnation, the air velocity needs to be set in the range of 0.1-0.2m per second. Humidity levels should sit between 40% and 70%, as higher levels of moisture can cause heat-related illnesses whereas low humidity could limit the respiratory health of personnel.
Cooling, air supply and ventilation considerations:
- Temperature
- Air movement
- Humidity levels
Understanding and implementing a solution based on these air quality figures can be challenging. Talk to a Fanquip ventilation engineer or technical sales expert for advice prior to installing your turn-key ventilation solution.
Industrial cooling & ventilation considerations.
Breathing in stagnant or stale air can lead to potential health implications such as skin irritations, headaches and fatigue [3]. Inadequate ventilation is particularly concerning for employees with underlying health conditions like asthma, allergies, or respiratory problems. An effective ventilation system allows hot air to be extracted from your industrial facility, keeping the space cool, clean and comfortable.
Airborne dust and fumes are a reality for some industrial workplaces. Employees within industries such as manufacturing, vehicle repair shops, bakeries, warehouses, or workshops are particularly vulnerable to the potentially harmful effects of fumes, dust, gases and airborne contaminants. It’s crucial that businesses take the necessary precautions by installing ventilation and cooling systems and implementing adequate processes and procedures.
Industrial cooling solutions.
Industrial fans can help ensure your working environment fits within these thresholds, maintaining productivity without issue, and optimising human performance. Fanquip offers many industrial fans, ventilation, and cooling systems to help achieve and maintain thermal comfort in indoor work environments.
