The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH ) recently released a report created in response to a request from employees at a Kentucky medical office building about concerns of exposure to sewer gas, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
The report outlines the results of a 2013 inspection, including problems with duct dampers, heat pumps and a computerized control system as well as with drain traps and certain plumbing fixtures.
In its report, NIOSH offered several solutions for medical building, including:
• Inspect the building’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system and make necessary repairs
• Test and balance the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system
