You can reduce the risk of illness and create a safer, healthier space for everyone

Focus on High-Touch Surface Disinfection

High-touch surfaces like door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, and shared office equipment are prime spots for germ transmission. Clean and disinfect these surfaces frequently throughout the day with an EPA-approved disinfectant. Create a checklist for your cleaning team to track disinfecting high-touch areas and ensure consistency.

Promote Hand Hygiene Across the Facility

Frequent hand washing is one of the most effective ways to reduce flu transmission. Ensure hand sanitizer stations are easily accessible, especially in high-traffic areas like entrances, cafeterias, and restrooms. Refill stations regularly, and encourage everyone to use sanitizer before and after handling shared items.

Stock Up on Flu Season Essentials

Ensure your facility is well-stocked with flu season supplies, such as hand sanitizers, disinfectants, tissues, hand soap, wipes and disposable masks. These supplies not only help prevent the spread of germs but also show your commitment to the health and well-being of everyone in the facility.

Clean and Disinfect Common Areas Frequently

Common areas like cafeterias, meeting rooms, and break rooms can easily become hotspots for germ transmission. Increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting these areas, paying special attention to surfaces that are shared or frequently touched. Schedule cleanings during off-hours to minimize disruptions while ensuring a safe space for all.
