UK law requires employers to make sure there’s adequate ventilation to supply fresh air to enclosed areas of the workplace.
The Covid-19 pandemic has made ventilation more important as it can reduce how much virus is in the air, which helps to reduce the risk from aerosol transmission. So adequate ventilation should be one of the factors considered in a Covid-19 risk assessment.
Ventilation is normally provided either naturally through air vents or open windows; or mechanically through ducts using fans to draw in fresh air.
