The Air we Breathe: Audit to Evaluate how Healthy the Working Environment is in Recovery

Abstract

Health hazards can often affect workers slowly and quietly over many years. Risks may not be immediately apparent, especially when no rigorous monitoring, research or follow-up is carried out by the employer. The worker remains in ignorance of the dangers and the link between damage to health and occupational hazard remains unexposed (Rogers & Salvage 1988). This article examines the potential hazards in the recovery environment.
