NIOSH Updates : Volume 4, Number 8, 2011WORLD DAY FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK 28 APRIL 2011

The 2011 World Day for Safety and Health at Work focuses on the implementation of an Occupational Safety and HealthManagement System (OSHMS) as a tool for continual improvement in the prevention of workplace incidents and accidents. The ILO

has prepared a report to serve as a background to this theme, a poster and other promotional materials for the occasion andinvites you to join us in promoting this important day.

The ILO 2001 Guidelines on occupational safety and health management

systems (ILO-OSH 2001) became a widely used model for developing national standards in this area.The ILO, with its tripartite structure and its standard-setting role, is the most appropriate body todevelop international OSHMS guidelines. The ILO guidelines are fast becoming the most referencedand used model for the development of OSHMS programmes at the national and enterprise level. TheILO is active in providing technical assistance to countries interested in implementing their ownOSHMS. Training courses on the subject are also offered by the ILO International Training Centre inTurin, Italy.

This year, SafeWork would like to encourage you to organize activities in your region or country.

Events can be organized by national authorities, trade unions, employers organizations and safety and

health practitioners as well as individual enterprises. You are welcome to adapt the materials by puttingthem into local languages and context. As in previous years; the focus is on activities in ILO memberstates. The activities organized by you will contribute to the success of the celebration. We thank you inadvance for your commitment to World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

PREFACE

This Industry Code of Practice is known as the Industry Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality2010 approved by the Minister on 30 August 2010 and will replace the C.ode of Practice on IndoorAir Quality launched by the Minister on July 2005.

Good indoor air quality (IAQ) is required for a healthy indoor work environment. Poor indoor airquality can cause a variety of short-term and long-term health problems. Health problemscommonly associated with poor IAQ include allergic reactions, respiratory problems, eye irritation,sinusitis, bronchitis and pneumonia.

IAQ problems occur in buildings that are served by a mechanical ventilating and air conditioning(MVAC) system including air-cooled split unit. IAQ problems can be due to indoor air pollutants orto inadequate ventilation.

There are many sources of indoor air pollutants and among the common ones are environmentaltobacco smoke (ETS) emitted due to burning of tobacco products; various chemical substancessuch as formaldehyde emitted from furnishings; volatile organic compounds emitted from the useand application of solvents; and ozone emitted from photocopiers and laser printers. It should benoted here that ETS has been recognized as a human carcinogen by the International Agencyfrom Research on cancer (IARC) in 2002 and exposure to it will increase the risk of coronary heart
