Posted By Alan Templeton Can anyone give me some direction, on how to go about developing a plan to control VOC,s in a educational establishment. Where looking to put in place procedures which will helping us to develop a healthier working environment (and one which also reduces the impact we have on the global environment). I am however not very well informed about this from a hazard point of view or indeed from the point of view of what we as managers and purchasers have in place to reduce the risk' so I really value your thoughts. I’ve done a little bit of digging and VOCs are not just given off by oil based paints but by other man made products in the home and office. They are also associated with the range of physical symptoms classed as Sick Building Syndrome so it is probably something that we ought to be considering and be more aware of.
