Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality in the Office

Jurga Galvan — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:05:37 +0000

Indoor air quality is a very important aspect of keeping your office a healthy and pleasant place to work. Poor air quality can cause eye-irritation, skin inflammation and sore throats as well as mental fatigue, headaches and other flu-like symptoms.

Poor air quality in the office is mostly caused from contaminants in the air from both biological and chemical sources. Every office has its share of contaminants, including carbon monoxide from vehicles that gets sucked into the ventilation systems and circulated around the building, while potted plants provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Electrical equipment such as photocopiers can produce ozone, which is highly irritating to humans. Excessive humidity usually stimulates the growth of microbes, while air that is too dry allows static electricity to build up and this can cause skin rashes, nosebleeds or headaches. (more…)

A good paper filing system is essential to the organisation of any business. In order to ensure that the records of a business are maintained efficiently it is essential that they are organised in a methodical, logical and systematic way.

Try to avoid storing your paperwork in too many folders; it is not efficient to make separate folders for anything less than 20 papers. If you have small records that are comprised of less than one or two documents it is better to file these in miscellaneous folders. It is also important to use enough file headings as finding records is easier when they are organised under sections and subheadings.
