Reduce absence. Earn the BREEAM / WELL credit. Tick the duty-of-care box.

HSE guidance HSG258 covers workplace ventilation as part of employer duty-of-care. BREEAM and WELL both reward documented IAQ controls. The same kit covers all three plus delivers a measurable cut in staff absence.

What the inspector asks

"What ventilation and IAQ controls are in place across the occupied estate?"

HSE inspections increasingly cite ventilation as part of HSG258 enforcement, and BREEAM / WELL assessors need evidence at design and post-occupancy stages. Documentation expected:

1
An IAQ policy covering CO₂, PM2.5, TVOC and humidity targets.
2
Continuous monitoring across representative spaces — open plan, meeting rooms, breakout, basements.
3
Filtration in spaces that fail the targets — not blanket coverage, but evidence-led deployment.
4
An employee-facing communication — duty-of-care expects visibility, not silence.
The kit

What we recommend for a 120-desk office

Monitor everywhere, filter where the monitors flag a problem.

Layer 1 · Monitoring

Air quality monitor

One monitor per ~30 desks (open-plan) plus every meeting room — CO₂, PM2.5, chemical VOCs and more, on a touch LED display. Lobby-friendly for employee visibility.
