9.2 Indoor Air Quality "Indoor Air Quality" generally refers to indoor office, production floor, assembly lines as opposed to outdoor settings. Indoor environments often have ventilation from windows or a heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Common causes of indoor air quality complaints include inadequate outdoor air supply, odors from indoor or outdoor sources, molds or chemical use in production area and fumes. Smoking is prohibited while on EGNW property unless within designated smoking areas. Individuals who choose not to follow this policy will be subject to discipline. EGNW will follow State of Washington law regarding smoking in workplace. This will also apply to electronic cigarette usage. Smoking in unauthorized areas can cause indoor air quality concerns or other safety issues. Although signs are posted, employees will be encouraged to remind their peers not to smoke inside the building or within 25 feet of the building or near wood pallets and flammable products. Employees will be trained on smoking requirements during orientation. 9.3 Hearing Loss Prevention R&S will identify and assess activities where employees could potentially be exposed to high noise levels that may exceed 85 decibels (dBA) averaged over an eight–hour period. For accurate results additional assessments may be conducted by an Industrial Hygienist for noise levels exceeding Permitted Exposure Limit. Employees will be provided with adequate hearing protections and signs will be posted in areas with high noise level. Audio devices will not to be used in lieu of hearing protection. EGNW will not require a baseline assessment during pre-employment medical examinations for employees as the work environment does not qualify as a high noise level over a 8 hour-period. Employees will be encouraged to report any noise above the 85dBA limit or induced hearing issues to their supervisors or R&S. If required, EGNW will conduct an industrial hygiene test for indoor air quality and noise every 5 years or when there are changes in processes or complaints. Indoor air quality test record will be kept by R&S Department and result will be communicated to employees through toolbox or email.
