In warehouses, factories or production departments, the risks that you run in any other working environment can be amplified.
Like offices, these places are frequented by people from different homes, who use different means of transport to go to work (their own car, train, underground, other public transport) and who attend different crowded places (for example, bars, restaurants, etc.). Each of these people has the potential to introduce viruses, bacteria, germs and other contaminants into the site.
In addition, places such as warehouses and large factories may have an internal air recirculation allowed only by the operation of aeraulic systems (ventilation, air conditioning, aeration) that, if not properly maintained, are environments in which molds, fungi, spores and other pathogens such as, for example, the Legionella bacteria, find the right conditions to proliferate, spreading through the air to the entire production facility.
Finally, depending on the type of activity carried out within the shed or factory, there may be allergens, dust and other production residues such as fumes and vapours, which make these environments less healthy.
There are therefore two main risks:
