The Building Services Engineering Association (BESA) is delivering a webinar – facilities managers, HSE managers, and directors in SME companies – on how using ventilation can help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.
The panellists will also give information on the 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 panellists.
