Flu season is just beginning, and viruses and bacterial infections can take a serious toll on employee productivity. That’s no good for businesses, because when productivity slows, revenues do too. Sick employees either aren’t doing their best work or need to take time off to rest and recover.
Prepare your facility for flu season by following these tips from the experts here at D&E Supply:
The single best way to prevent getting the flu is by getting a flu shot. Encourage your employees to get one and consider listing nearby pharmacies that offer them on a breakroom bulletin board or in an email.
The other best way to avoid spreading flu germs is to wash your hands! Make it easy for your employees by keeping your restrooms stocked with hand soap and paper towels, and place hand sanitizers throughout your facility for those times when handwashing isn’t immediately possible.
Remind your employees about germ hot spots and talk to them about regularly cleaning and disinfecting their personal items at the office, like keyboards, staplers and even pens. While these items don’t need to be cleaned every day, if an employee has the flu, encourage him or her to wipe down these common items before sharing them.
Use color-coded cleaning cloths to eliminate the risk of cross contamination. When you always use red cloths for bathrooms and green ones to wipe down desks, you’ll know right away if you’ve made a mistake.
Like the hot spots you talked to your employees about, these are frequently-touched surfaces that can harbor germs. These more public objects need to be cleaned regularly, including light switches, hand rails, door knobs, telephones, elevator buttons and business machines.
