A Safe & Healthy Building*

Have you ever wondered where the hazardous places and environments are 
in your library? How will you deal with these dangers? How will you 
protect your collections and your patrons? Learn about surveying your 
building as a preliminary step toward good indoor air quality. Learn 
where the potential hazards are for your older patrons and for your 
patrons with disabilities.

This workshop will cover two related topics: Indoor Air Quality and 
Working with Disabled patrons. The first part will provide an overview 
of the needs of disabled and elderly patrons and how ADA requirements 
affect cultural institutions, looking at both the physical facility and 
such basic requirements as ramps and accommodations, to programmatic 
areas such as accessible exhibits and events. The second part will look 
at surveying your building for potential indoor air quality problems as 
well as security and safety risks.
