In observance of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work on April 28, 2026, Ryan Gosson participated in a national seminar hosted by the Saint Lucia Department of Labour under the theme: “Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality and Mould on Occupational Health.” The seminar brought together professionals responsible for occupational safety and health, facilities management, and workplace wellness to discuss emerging concerns related to indoor environmental quality.
Ryan’s presentation focused on the impact of poor indoor air quality and mould exposure within occupational settings, emphasizing the importance of proactive prevention and workplace health management. Key areas discussed included the identification and causes of mould growth in workplaces, best practices for addressing mould, and the associated health risks for employees exposed to mould-contaminated environments.
The presentation also highlighted the critical role of HVAC systems and building maintenance practices in maintaining healthy indoor spaces and preventing mould proliferation. Attention was given to practical strategies organizations can implement to improve ventilation, monitor moisture levels, and strengthen occupational health and safety protocols.
