You should also review these general guidelines and best practices for managing air throughout the hotel.
Insure Proper Chemical Use and Storage
- Use "environmentally friendly" products whenever feasible.
Check labels for biodegradable ingredients and other product information. Ask your suppliers to provide cost information regarding environmentally safe choices.
- Insure work areas are well ventilated (to the outside).
Encourage use of portable fans and identify areas for permanent ventilation improvements.
- Follow label instructions carefully.
Incrementally increase or decrease product use until maximum efficiency is determined (with regard to IAQ).
- Clean up spills, excesses and run-off rapidly.
Emphasize the importance of thorough clean-up before material soaks in or becomes entrapped in ventilation system.
- Instruct contractors, pest control folks, and others to observe your clean indoor air policies.
Use as little chemical as possible to get the job done. This may be contrary to standard practices which, before now, have not prioritized IAQ.
- Post notices for guests and others whenever significant air impacting chemicals are in use.
Indicate the reason for the materials use and provide timeframes for the impact on IAQ.
