What should be done if the Air Filtration Device (AFD) is turned off overnight?

The appropriate action when an Air Filtration Device (AFD) is turned off overnight is to turn it back on and notify the manager. The AFD plays a crucial role in maintaining air quality and controlling airborne contaminants during the remediation process. If it is turned off, it can lead to a rise in spore counts and reinfection of the area being remediated.

By turning it back on, you help to quickly restore the air purification process, minimizing any potential negative impact on the environment or occupants. Notifying the manager is also essential as they need to be aware of the situation to determine if any additional measures are required to ensure safety and efficacy in the remediation efforts.

In contrast, leaving the AFD off until morning would risk increased contamination, while switching it off for maintenance is unnecessary unless there is an explicit issue with the device. Calling for an inspection may not be warranted if the device is simply turned off; instead, immediate action to restore functionality by turning it back on is the priority.
