A critical overview of the normative, regulatory and international standard requirements for healthy and safe public facilities

The purpose of this paper is to present a critical overview of the international, national, regional and local requirements for healthy and safe public facilities. The normative requirements for the cleanliness of rooms through the measurement of some key parameters such as carbon dioxide, amount of oxygen, fine dust particles, radiation levels, light, noise, humidity, etc. are discussed. The measurement methods for most of these parameters are carried out using specialized equipment by regulatory bodies. The prescribed limiting levels are specified in certain standards depending on the type of facility- public spaces (stations, airports), work rooms, civil protection facilities, etc. The critical overview aims to specify the requirements for a monitoring system which will allow preventive control of the abovementioned parameters. Thus, it will facilitate favourable, healthy and safe working conditions for personnel and other interested parties.
