Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
For indoor air quality:
The Occupational Health and Safety conducts occupational hygiene monitoring including checking indoor air quality when a complaint is registered. Indoor air quality is also maintained and measured by the facilities services department through the building automation system and all complaints can be registered through them here: https://www.mohawkcollege.ca/about-mohawk/leadership-and-administration/corporate-services/facility-operations-and-engineering-1. If there is an issue with the air quality, the facilities team investigates the situation and fixes it in a timely manner. All mechanical and ventilation issues are taken seriously and addressed as soon as possible.
An example of an indoor air quality protocol or procedure is our chemical spill procedure. If air quality issues arise as a result of chemical spills or spills of some sort, action to ventilate the space is taken immediately whether it is through an open door or window. If it is a larger spill, the area is evacuated immediately and the security, health and safety and facilities management respond accordingly. https://mymohawk.mohawkcollege.ca/documents/60001/342925/Emergency-Safety-and-Security-Procedures.pdf
Mohawk College also educates employees about scents and strongly recommends being aware of and respectful of scents at the College. Read more here: https://mymohawk.mohawkcollege.ca/documents/60001/342925/Scent-Awareness-in-the-Workplace.pdf
