Staying Healthy During the Season of Cold, RSV, Flu & Norovirus

STEP 1

Enhanced Hand Hygiene Solutions

80% of all infectious diseases are spread by touch – clean hands save lives and create a healthier building environment.

Encourage your building occupants to practice the 1-2-3 of Hand Hygiene, which is:

• Wash hands with soap and clean water
• Dry hands with clean paper hand towels
• Apply hand sanitizer

STEP 2

Comprehensive Surface Cleaning Solutions

Dirty surfaces create ideal conditions for pathogenic microbes to survive and thrive – clean surfaces decrease pathogenic microbes and create a healthier building environment:

• Cleaning Chemicals - restrooms, hard floors, carpets, general surfaces
• Cleaning Chemical Dispensing Systems
• Cleaning Tools - microfiber, mops, wipes, brushes, scrubbing pads
• Cleaning Equipment

STEP 3

High-Touch Surface Disinfecting Solutions

High-touch surfaces are a potential source for pathogen transfer to building occupants – targeted disinfection of high-touch surfaces will inactivate and suppress the growth of harmful pathogens and create a healthier building environment:

• Disinfectant Chemicals
• Disinfectant Wipes
• Cleaning Chemical and Disinfectant Dispensing Systems
• Disinfectant Applicators - Sprayers, buckets, wipes, misters, foggers, electrostatic sprayers

STEP 4

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Safety Solutions

Cleaning and disinfecting facilities results in opportunities for potential exposure to hazards – appropriate use of PPE will protect users against these health and safety risks, and create a healthier building environment:

• Gloves
• Safety glasses, goggles, and face shields
• Face masks and respirators
• Aprons, gowns, booties, and apparel
• Thermometers

STEP 5

Indoor Biological Pollutant Source Control Solutions

Other sources for indoor pollutants and pathogens can be found throughout a facility – identifying these sources and employing effective facility maintenance strategies can limit potential exposure to indoor pollutants and pathogens and create a healthier building environment:

• Entryway matting
• Waste, recycling & compost receptacles and liners
• Drain maintenance - bioactive chemistry and trap seals
• Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) - odor control, vent cleaning, air filtration and purification

STEP 6
