Certain industries are prone to odor problems. If you work in the wastewater industry, portable sanitation industry, or the rubbish and recycling industry, then you know what we’re talking about, but these are not the only industries that produce malodors. Any business with large amounts of waste frequently used restrooms, or even floor drain traps connected to sewers is probably in need of odor control.
Why Odor Control Is So Important
If your business is experiencing or producing malodors, there is no question that this will affect your bottom line in some way. One of the biggest issues is providing a work environment that your employees will be happy to return to – if the smells are making them nauseous or otherwise ill, they’ll be more likely to take time off or resign, leaving you with fewer employees and frequent hiring. On top of that, malodors can also chase away customers, particularly in food industries where consumers will equate bad smells with poor hygiene.
Another concern in odor-producing industries is health. While odor molecules themselves do not usually contain bacteria, gases can affect employee and customer health, causing eye irritation, shortness of breath, and headaches. Some gasses, such as methane, are highly flammable and can even cause suffocation if exposed to high concentrations. Methane is present in most waste and agricultural industries and can extend beyond your immediate working environment to the surrounding areas. Getting these odors under control is therefore important not just for your own employees and customers, but also for your neighbors.
