It is also required for the employers to submit the report of each inspection to the respective department about the maintenance and operation of ventilation system. Employers hire a well-trained person for this reason who inspect the working place and file a report together with the employer and health and safety regulation department. The report contains all the necessary information about the deficiencies and steps need to be taken about the ventilation system in the working environment. Health and safety department takes action according to the report of the inspection. Employers has the responsibility to provide hygienic and healthier environment to its workers. Employers must keep the record of each inspection and the steps taken after each inspection. In most of the companies and work places, there is a specific department who takes care of health, safety and maintenance of all the systems.
