With more and more people back in the office and winter approaching, this webinar from ACRIB member BESA is designed to provide information on how using ventilation can help to prevent the spread of COVID 19 in the workplace and key steps that can be taken to ensure air conditioning units do not contribute to the spread of the virus. A Q&A session will follow the two presentations for guests to speak directly to our panelists.
