Preparing offices & keeping office staff safe, following COVID-19 guidance

Guidance from the government states: 

“Public areas where a symptomatic individual has passed through and spent minimal time, such as corridors, but which are not visibly contaminated with body fluids can be cleaned thoroughly as normal. All surfaces that the symptomatic person has come into contact with must be cleaned and disinfected, including:

  • objects which are visibly contaminated with body fluids
  • all potentially contaminated high-contact areas such as bathrooms, door handles, telephones, grab-rails in corridors and stairwells”

As the virus can go undetected for several days, it is crucial to maintain good hygiene levels in office spaces, whether staff are showing symptoms or not.

Here’s how you can prepare your offices to comply with COVID-19 guidance, in 3 easy steps:

1. Sanitise

The Biohygiene All Purpose Sanitiser Spray is a great all-purpose cleaner and sanitiser based on natural fermentation extracts and kills Bacteria to EN1276 and EN13697. You should use disposable cloths or paper roll and disposable mop heads to clean all hard surfaces, floors, door handles and sanitary fittings. Any cloths and mop heads used should be disposed of in waste bags.

2. Inform

Hang informative posters, in prominent areas throughout your premises, to educate staff and remind them of the importance of maintaining high levels of hygiene within the workplace.

We offer a range of posters that feature clear and detailed information to help minimise the risk of catching and spreading Coronavirus.

3. Use floor signs

Our range of social distancing floor signs help to promote government guidelines in and around premises. Floor signs are the perfect visual aid to remind your team to keep a safe distance from each other and their anti-slip surfaces make them safe for members of the public to stand on too.
