After 100 days under lockdown, Melbourne is finally celebrating its 28th days without COVID with cafes, restaurants, bars and offices being open for a few weeks. Now more than ever, the need for cleanliness is understood. While thorough cleaning measures have been undertaken for workspaces and residential properties, HVAC systems are often overlooked. HVAC systems that have been temporarily shut down can carry significant risks to the health and safety of tenants, owners and workers who enter a building if they have not been maintained and inspected in accordance with relevant regulations and standards prior to restarting.
Proper maintenance of your building’s heating, cooling and ventilation system is an essential part of commercial and office building management. Not just for longevity and efficiency of the system, but the safety of the building occupants.
The Risks Of Skipping HVAC Maintenance
HVAC systems provide the perfect breeding ground for mould, allergens and bacteria. During periods of shut-down, the concealed pipes can pool water, experience dust build-up, corrosion and more. One of the biggest risks of skipping maintenance is legionnaires disease, along with COVID-19 contamination. Both of which can cause lung damage and are potentially fatal.
Safe Work Australia considers unmaintained HVAC systems as posing considerable risk to workers. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic where systems have been left idle for weeks on end or missed regular maintenance. Restarting without proper cleaning and inspection as determined by relevant regulations is strongly advised against.
