So the office place has been ranked one of the most unhealthiest places your are going to inhabit on a daily basis..
Following research has shown that sick days could be significantly reduced if companies implement a better cleaning routine.
A recent study by Dr Ackerley that the main source of germs at your desk is poor personal hygiene as a recent survey has proven that nearly 50% of some work places do not wash there hands after going to the toilet. Ew.
Crumbs and spillages encourage growth in bacteria that can lead to stomach bugs, colds, flu and even food poisoning.
Bacteria and viruses that you bring back from the toilet multiply of the work surface and remain infectious for 24 hours.
Some common bacteria found on your work surface...
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa - commonly found in man-made environments like the office and causes illnesses for those with weakened immune systems.
- Staphylococcus aureus - found in the office where there is contact with skin on items such as keyboards, chairs and door handles.
- Actinomycetales - found in water and can be transferred from one surface to another.
- Norovirus - commonly found in the office and transferred by food and water.
Having a clean and tidy work place also brings professionalism to your company and organisation as well as being germ free to prevent unnecessary sick days off!
