Reporting An IAQ Concern
What To
Report:
An IAQ
hazard
is a building condition that has the potential to adversely impact the
health of building occupants. It includes exposures to chemicals,
biological agents and physical conditions that may cause irritation,
illness or aggravate existing health conditions.
An IAQ
condition requiring a response is a situation that can lead to an IAQ
hazard. Large water releases from any source (potable, sewage, roof leak,
equipment release); water retention outside the drain pan in air handlers;
retention of water, leaves or other debris at outside air intakes; the use
of volatile or hazardous materials in the renovation or maintenance of a
building.
What Not
To Report
IAQ
conditions involving thermal comfort should not be reported as an IAQ
issue unless these conditions place occupants at risk from heat or cold
stress. Also the presence of an occasional odor does not require an IAQ
response. Both of these categories should be reported to Facilities
through normal channels.
How To
Report an IAQ Hazard or IAQ Condition Requiring a Response
Call
x1141
and specifically state the problem is an IAQ situation requiring a
response (see above on what to report). The Maintenance Center will
prioritize the call and respond. If occupants are experiencing health
related problems, also report this situation to EHS at x8475.
For
questions regarding the IAQ program contact Joe Miller or call x6566 or Frank Bramante
or call x0631.
