Working safely in a clean workplace.
Workplace safety starts with a secure environment. To achieve this, good hygiene and the right tools and equipment are essential. At BOMA, we don't just think about worker safety. We go one step further. This article explains how proper cleaning can contribute to the safety of any workplace, no matter the setting.
Prevent accidents with a clean and well-organized workplace.
Accidents can happen quickly. However, a tidy workplace makes it easier to avoid many issues. For example, cleaning the floor every day keeps it from becoming slippery, thus reducing the risk of falls, and by managing waste properly, you can help keep the workplace neat and orderly. It's as simple as that.
Reduce health risks for your employees by ensuring proper workplace hygiene.
Did you know that nearly 21,000 bacteria can grow on every square centimeter of an office chair? Your desk, keyboard, and mouse are also home to countless bacteria, some of which can be harmful (Source: Service Management). Proper cleaning is essential to stop the spread of pathogens. Thorough cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and objects can reduce the spread of viruses by 80 to 90%.
Use your cleaning machines correctly.
