After a few visits to manufacturing shops, specifically CNC job shops I noticed that the air felt different and I knew it was due to the mist that is created during the machining process. I came back to my office and started some preliminary research on air quality. I wasn't surprised that a machine shop like that would struggle with this scenario but I started thinking about my own office. What am I breathing in, what should I be concerned with? I wanted to get a sense of how other people out there viewed this topic. Would this be something you bring up to your boss? Would you take matters in your own hand and get one of those little air purifiers? Or maybe people don't think about it at all?
For those people who do have control over this issue in their own work place, do you care about your employees enough to do something about it? Is it worth the money? The link to the OSHA site states that $15 billion dollars per year is lost because of worker absences and reduced efficiency from poor air quality. In an age when a lot of people spend most of their time indoors, is this something that people think about on a daily basis?
