Using Air Scrubbers and AFDs to Improve Job Site Air Quality

Welcome to Using Air Scrubbers and AFDs to Improve Job Site Air Quality — a practical, in-depth course designed to equip restoration professionals, contractors, and environmental technicians with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage airborne contaminants on job sites.

Indoor air quality is a critical factor in restoration, remediation, and construction projects. Whether you’re addressing mould contamination, fire and smoke damage, asbestos, or general dust and debris, controlling the air environment is essential for health, safety, and compliance.

Air Filtration Devices (AFDs), commonly known as air scrubbers, are the front line in protecting workers and building occupants from airborne hazards. This course demystifies how they work, when and where to use them, and how to get the most out of these essential tools.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

Understand the components, mechanics, and modes of operation of air scrubbers

Choose and manage filters (HEPA, carbon, pre-filters) for different job scenarios

Set up units effectively on site for both recirculation and negative pressure

Calculate Air Changes per Hour (ACH) to meet air quality standards

Maintain equipment and manage filters for long-term performance

Ensure safety, compliance, and proper documentation throughout every project

Communicate the value of clean air strategies to clients and stakeholders

This is more than just an equipment overview — it’s a course that builds confidence and competency in using AFDs to improve job performance, protect health, and meet regulatory demands.

By the end of the training, you’ll not only understand how to operate air scrubbers effectively — you’ll be able to justify their use with measurable results and communicate your process clearly to clients and insurers alike.

Let’s get started and breathe cleaner, safer air into every job site.
