As an employer you have a duty of care to ensure employees and visitors to your premises operate in a safe environment. European and UK legislation exists to protect workers and ensure acceptable levels of air and water hygiene.

The Health and Safety Commissions’ Approved Code of Practice and Guidance L24, HMSO 1992, states that "...mechanical ventilation systems, including air conditioning systems, should be regularly and properly cleaned, tested and maintained to ensure that they are kept clean and free from anything which may contaminate the air."

The following Acts & Regulations have a direct bearing on cleaning and maintenance of buildings, including ventilation systems:

 
Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963, Section 4, requires that all premises to which the Act applies be kept in a clean state.
Control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH) Regulations, Statutory Instrument No 1657, 1988 Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, states that employers or persons concerned with premises have a common duty of care to employees and others who use or visit the premises.
Occupiers Liability Act 1984, imposes a duty of care on an occupier of premises to prevent risk to others of injury, which includes any disease and impairment of physical or mental condition.
The European Communities Workplace Directive is implemented in the UK by the workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulation 1992.
