Our places of work are important spaces and are the areas we spend the majority of our time in, which makes it an extremely important place to clean not only for legal reasons, but also for the health of staff.
Our places of work are important spaces and are the areas we
spend the majority of our time in, which makes it an extremely
important place to clean not only for legal reasons, but also for
the health of staff. If you work in an office you know all too well
how quickly a cold or bug can circulate around the office picking
off one colleague at a time. Under Section 2 of the Health and Safety
at Work Act 1974 employers need to ensure that the working
conditions meet all specifications including the correct
temperature, enough lighting and ventilation and a clean
environment to work in.
Recent studies have shown that there are more germs present in
the average office than in a bathroom. Many people openly admit
that they eat at their desk, but a survey conducted by Viking found
as astounding two thirds of respondents eat lunch at their desk.
The survey also revealed that over half of respondents were unaware
of the health risks connected with our keyboards or phones.
These health concerns can be combated by using wipes to clean
down the desk and the keyboard on a daily basis. However, one of
the most economical and easier forms of ensuring a clean and safe
working environment is by employing a dedicated team of commercial
cleaners.
Hiring a professional team of office cleaners can help promote a
healthier work place as well as encourage a more progressive work
flow. These are just a few of the benefits of tidy office can have
on the environment:
Keeping desks clean and clear of clutter can create a more
focussed workforce. Without the distractions of papers piled across
the desk employees will concentrate on the task at hand giving them
the motivation to finish their workload progressively.
It's been proven time and time again that productivity is higher
when in an environment that's clean. If an office is dirty and
cluttered, motivation to work falls.
A clean desk can show that clear organisational skills are used
throughout the work place, which can be appealing to customers and
clients as well as staff.
Staff sick days can cost a firm a considerable amount of money
and many of these days are due to illnesses that are spreading
across the work place. Ensure all vents and air conditioning
systems are cleaned regularly as well as ensuring the up keep of
desks and equipment, doing so can prevent the spread of germs.
There are many advantages to keeping an office clean and
numerous benefits of having a professional team of commercial
cleaners. At CleanTEC Services we
can provide you with the office clean your employees deserve and
will ensure that all health and safety measures are adhered to. Our
commercial cleaners work in a wide range of locations including Watford.
