The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued an emergency temporary standard (ETS) on Monday, June 21, to protect health care workers from occupational exposure to COVID-19. The ETS applies, with some exceptions, to health care settings where people may share space with COVID-19 patients or interact with others who do. The ETS requires health care employers to develop and implement a COVID-19 plan that identifies and controls COVID-19 hazards in the workplace.

In this webinar, Dr. Thomas Doerdelmann will introduce a new in-air pathogen surveillance solution that can identify the presence of SARS-CoV-2, FLU A&B and/or RSV A&B in indoor air to help you monitor and strengthen facility safety protocols. By attending, you’ll gain an understanding of the aerosol collection technology, the workflow of facility implementation and use case applications.

This course discusses how once basic interior sliding doors systems have evolved into a sophisticated solution for a range of commercial spaces with their ability to attenuate sound, improve wayfinding, comply with ADA requirements and defend against fire.

While Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is not a new tool for disinfection, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought it to the forefront of discussions again. UV radiation, with sufficient intensity and contact time, can inactivate viruses and bacteria through three main approaches: air, water and surface. One of the applications of UV lamp includes being used in HVAC systems.

This lunch and learn will talk about impact and usage of sensors, as well as, highlight novel implementations.
