Let’s face it, when it comes to
workplace health and our employees,
we do not often think about the
procedure followed by our office
cleaning service. While it’s true that viruses have little chance of survival when exposed to open air, germs and
bacteria tend to thrive given any areas
of moisture.
The key objective of maintaining a
healthy work-environment certainly
depends on many factors – however
the practices of your cleaning
custodian should always be given
consideration. Think about it this
way – which area of your workplace
do you associate with germs? If you
thought of your employee break
room, that’s a good answer however
the most obvious location would be
your restrooms.
The key to the daily maintenance and
cleaning of your facility and office
space is avoiding cross-contamination. Simply put, your janitorial cleaning staff should be trained with the proper cleaning protocols. Integrity Facility Services uses the F.G.T.L phrase (First Glass, Tiolets Last). This simple abbreviation guides employees who deliver daily cleaning in a healthy work-order.
The intended result of course, is to
guide your housekeeping staff with a
healthy cleaning procedure. If you’re
not sure how your commercial cleaning service trains their janitorial employees, consider this a relevant
topic to address - before the next flu
season, or other health concern, is upon us.
