Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will bring forward proposals to create duties to measure and report concentrations of indoor air pollutants in public buildings.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the regulator for workplace health and safety. HSE expects businesses to consider any risks arising from the quality of the air in their premises and to ensure they have mitigations in place where, for example, work generating fumes or dust that is harmful to workers. As such, they have no plans to create duties to measure and report concentrations of indoor air pollutants in workplaces.
