Ventilation may be deficient in confined spaces,
facilities failing to provide adequate maintenance of ventilation equipment,
facilities operated to maximize energy conservation, windowless areas, and areas
with high occupant densities. The following references aid in recognizing and
evaluating hazards associated with ventilation in the workplace.
-
Field Operations Manual (FOM). OSHA Directive CPL 02-00-148, (2009,
January 9).
-
OSHA Technical Manual (OTM). OSHA Directive TED 01-00-015 [TED 1.15],
(1999, January 20). Several portions of the OTM include ventilation as
part of the evaluation process:
-
Access to Information. American Industrial Hygiene Association
(AIHA).
- IAQ and HVAC Workbook
- Industrial Ventilation Workbook, 6th Ed.
- Laboratory Ventilation Guidebook, 2nd Ed.
- Semiconductor Exhaust Ventilation Guidebook
-
Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice, 25th Edition.
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH),
(2004). Provides research data and information on
the design, maintenance, and evaluation of industrial exhaust ventilation
systems, including basic ventilation principles and sample calculations.
