Transportation industry - the challenges

Although people typically spend only about 5.5% of their time commuting, research shows that the air inside public transport and private cars can be more than 2.5 times more polluted than outside and as much as 15 times worse than the air a few meters away from the vehicle in front. 

Similar to indoor environments, the in-cabin microenvironment has become a significant source of exposure to various air pollutants harmful to health such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, fine and ultra-fine particles and various airborne pathogens from passengers.

With contaminated aerosols that can stay infectious in the air for up to three hours, how can you protect your drivers and passengers from airborne viruses and pollution?

What can you do?

Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Occupiers Liability Act 1984, an employer has a duty of care to ensure that a safe and healthy environment is provided.  

Setting aside the legal requirements, there is a clear relationship between good health, a good productive working environment and low rates of sickness absence.  Research shows businesses that prioritise the health and wellbeing of their employees are more efficient and profitable compared to businesses that do not.
