How To Make Your Office Corona Proof ?

Due to the Corona pandemic, hygiene is more important than ever. Not only in public places such as public transport, shops, and grocery stores, but also in the office. The latter needs some extra attention when it comes to hygiene and ventilation, as employees often spend more than 8 hours per day at the office. So this area needs to be clean and safe at all times.

Do you know how you can make your office Corona proof? Then make sure to read the information below.

Surface disinfection

Especially if you have so-called flexible working spaces, surface disinfection is very important. After all, the coronavirus can spread via surfaces. To avoid contamination, it’s best for employees to clean their desks with a surface disinfectant before they start working and afterward. Take extra care of the mouse and keyboard, as people touch these items with their hands pretty much the entire day.

Dispensers and hygiene stations

To make sure that everyone cleans their hands regularly, it’s wise to have many dispensers in and around the office. Think of strategic places such as the entrance and exit, the toilet, the kitchen, the waiting room, and meeting rooms. A so-called hygiene station is handy, as it gets noticed more than a dispenser on the wall. And you can locate them at any place you want.

Face masks

Make sure that you have enough face masks in your office. Employees are not obliged to wear face masks inside, but they should have the option if they move around a lot or enter public spaces with more people. Face masks are especially useful for clients or business partners that visit your office. Place some face masks at the entrance of your office with accompanying guidelines.

Additional stuff

Next to surface disinfectants, dispensers, hygiene stations, and face masks, it may be also handy to buy some additional stuff such as gloves. If you have a small office and your employees are also responsible for cleaning the kitchen or toilet, it’s super important that they can act in a completely safe manner.

So next to ordinary detergents such as all-purpose cleaner and hydrogen peroxide (Dutch: waterstofperoxide), it’s a must to expand your collection with enough disinfectants (Dutch: ontsmettingsmiddelen) so that employees not only work in a clean environment, but also in a safe one!
