The ability to write down what has happened in the past is uniquely human. Until the current digital age, the majority of history was recorded with ink and paper. As historical documents get older and older, organizations are working to preserve them.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), part of the Department of Labor, has issued new respirable crystalline silica standards for construction. Through proper preparation, organizations can ensure they are compliant with the new standards and provisions. How do climate control solutions play a role? Remote monitoring is one proactive approach to the issue. Polygon’s remote monitoring (Exactaire) can both detect and mitigate the issues with air scrubbers, filtration, and ventilation to the space to eliminate silica particles from the air. Polygon also provides additional solutions for the construction industry. Click to view or download the whitepaper.

Maintaining production schedules and following strict guidelines can be challenging in food processing plants. Under the watchful eye of the FDA, USDA and other regulatory agencies, seafood and food processing plants are faced with many challenges. With tight margins and ever-expanding operating expenses, the costs of meeting specifications may seem out of reach sometimes. Fines, production delays, and lost revenue are all at stake. Controlling climate and humidity are a few of the steps that can help Seafood and Food Processing plants avoid the top 5 violations issued in 2017 by the FDA.

The World Health Organization reports that one in four people suffer from a mental health disorder. While trauma and chemical imbalance are often the cause of these diagnoses, science is starting to uncover another culprit—mold.

As seasons change and temperatures begin to vary from day to day, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and other manufacturers may notice their HVAC system alternating between heating and cooling. Even with the best in-house climate control system, temperature swings can create unique issues. With ambient temperatures rising during the day followed by upwards of thirty-degree temperature swings overnight, climate control systems do their best to adjust. While systems may hold interior temperatures, these dramatic swings can introduce humidity and condensation. Because these issues are typically seasonal, there may be a seasonal solution by using a rental dehumidifier.
