Steps To Maintaining Great Warehouse Air Quality

6th Oct 2021

If you are using an internal combustion engine indoors you are definitely aware that it can lead to poor air quality. It is therefore always advisable to avoid using the internal combustion engines indoors but if you have to you can take the following precautions to ensure you maintain the best air quality.

Restrict Confined Areas

Confined areas normally have a very limited supply of air and so using the internal combustion engines in such areas automatically leads to poor air quality. To avoid any accidents arising from this it is recommended that you restrict the use of the internal combustion engines in such areas.

Provide Proper Ventilation

Using the internal combustion engines inside the warehouses can lead to poor air quality. One very effective way you can prevent the destruction of the air quality is by ensuring that your warehouse has a proper ventilation system installed for air circulation.

Preserve Air Circulation

During cold or harsh weather it is common to close all windows to retain some warmth or save the goods in the warehouse from destruction. However, this normally prevents proper air circulation leading to accumulation of fumes. Ensure every opening critical to ventilation is not closed.

Schedule Frequent Maintenance

Engines that are not properly maintained can be a great threat towards retaining great air quality. You should, therefore, ensure that your internal combustion engines are properly maintained to minimize the emission of toxic fumes.

Install CO monitors

You can also employ the use of technology to ensure that air quality is perfect. One such technology is the CO monitors that make it very easy to detect the build-up of CO in the warehouse. You should always use the monitors in areas where the internal combustion engines are used the most.

Therefore always ensure the air quality is the best for your workers to be more productive. Install CO monitors to detect the build-up of CO in the warehouse. Ensure your machines are scheduled for frequent maintenance. Also, limit the use of the internal combustion engines trucks in restricted areas within the warehouse.
