In May 2023, Health and Safety Authority Ireland published a code of practice for Indoor Air Quality in workspaces. A health and safety code of practice has (legal) consequences. The HSA just put Ireland in the forefront of the move towards healthy indoor spaces.

I wrote a piece in RTE Brainstorm, going over the important aspects in the document, from the perspective of employers and employees. I have tried my best to not include my own opinion and just summarize the document in an easy-to-understand form.

Is the air quality in your office fit for purpose?

A new code of practice for indoor air quality is now in operation so what does it mean for employers and employees?
