Return to Work Safely by Following These Cleaning Guidelines
If your office space or commercial facility has remained unoccupied during the pandemic, your employees’ health and safety will be vital to starting and maintaining smooth operations. As a business owner, you should implement several health precautions, such as a rotational schedule and updating sick day policies. However, a necessary deep cleaning should be done by the hands of a professional.
Here are the cleaning guidelines you need to know to help your employees safely return to work.
Set Up A Custom Cleaning Routine
Many commercial cleaning crews will come in, disinfect and sanitize, and leave. How can one routine be sure to work for every space? The short answer–it can’t! As an employer, you must ensure your office is being treated in the best way possible. Work with a professional team that evaluates your space first, creates a list of practices to follow and equipment to use, and effectively implements this routine every time.
What’s more, any thorough deep clean procedure should be assessed by a certified industrial hygienist.
What Is A Certified Industrial Hygienist?
An industrial hygienist can test environments for health risks, hazards, safety, and more. First, one must be certified through education, experience, and examination. Here’s a look at the scope of services a certified industrial hygienist (CIH) can offer.
- Recognize and test the environment for health hazards
- Determine if there is a risk to human health in a particular situation and recommend a means of protection from the recognized health hazard
- Assist in developing worker protection plans, perform audits, and educate and train management and workers
A certified industrial hygienist can work with your cleaning crew to create a custom routine and evaluate the performance level of those professional services.
