Flu Season Challenges: During flu season, germs spread rapidly, especially in high-traffic areas like restrooms, kitchens, and common areas.
Preventative Measures:
- Disinfect High-Touch Areas: Clean door handles, light switches, and elevator buttons regularly with disinfectants.
- Hand Hygiene: Encourage employees and visitors to wash their hands frequently and provide hand sanitizers throughout the facility.
- Sanitize Shared Equipment: Regularly clean and disinfect shared equipment, such as copiers, phones, and computers.
- Ventilate the Facility: Ensure that ventilation systems are working properly to improve air circulation and reduce the spread of airborne germs.
Daily Cleaning: Increase the frequency of cleaning during flu season to keep surfaces disinfected and reduce the risk of illness spreading.
