Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Information and Inspections
Purpose
Although OSHA does not have IAQ standards, it does have standards about ventilation
and standards on some of the air contaminants that can be involved in IAQ
problems. OSHA responds to questions about standards with letters of
interpretation. OSHA’s IAQ website gives workers and employers useful,
up-to-date information to identify, correct, and prevent IAQ problems.
OSHA conducts onsite inspections and investigations
of workplace IAQ.
