Purpose of General Ventilation

General Ventilation is a critical component in maintaining a fresh air supply in the work environment and effectively removing harmful substances to protect the health and safety of workers and employees.

To achieve this, it is essential to implement an appropriate ventilation system and strategy.

1. Purpose of Ventilation
• Fresh Air Supply: Supply fresh outdoor air indoors to maintain oxygen levels and appropriate temperature and humidity.
• Removal of Harmful Substances: Effectively remove harmful substances, chemical vapors, dust, etc., from the work environment to minimize exposure.
• Air Circulation: Circulate indoor air to control microbes, moisture, odors, etc., maintaining comfort for workers/employees.


2. Implementing Appropriate Ventilation Systems
• Ventilation System Design: Design an effective ventilation system considering factors like workplace size, purpose, and type of work.
• Exhaust Fans and Ducts: Install exhaust fans and ducts at points where harmful substances are produced to expel contaminated air outside.
• Air Purifiers: Introduce air purifiers as needed to remove fine dust and harmful substances from the air.


3. Ventilation Speed and Frequency
• Setting Ventilation Speed: Set appropriate ventilation speeds according to the work environment to provide a safe and comfortable environment for workers/employees.
• Adjusting Ventilation Frequency: Adjust ventilation frequency based on work hours, seasons, and types of work to maintain effective ventilation.


4. Acquisition of Outdoor Air
• Intake of Outdoor Air: Inhale outdoor air to exchange the air inside the workplace with fresh air.
• Natural Ventilation Systems: Utilize windows, doors, vents, etc., to induce natural ventilation.


5. Effective Layout and Placement
• Appropriate Placement of Vents: Optimize the placement of vents to maintain consistent ventilation throughout the space.
• Ventilation Plans According to Workplaces: Introduce additional ventilation systems as needed in specific workplaces or work areas.


6. Monitoring and Maintenance
• Monitoring Ventilation Performance: Regularly monitor and maintain the performance of the ventilation system to continuously ensure effective operation.
• Air Quality Measurement: Regularly measure air quality for the safety of workers/employees and take necessary actions.

Proper general ventilation plays a vital role in effectively controlling harmful substances generated in the work environment, protecting the health of workers/employees, and providing a safe and comfortable work environment.
