Various studies indicate that the world is likely to witness more infectious diseases and pandemics in the future as a spillover from animals to people or due to climate change. The World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) continue to insist on thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting facilities with industrial cleaning solutions.
Hand sanitizers are not enough if you don’t sanitize the surfaces. When your employees touch an infected surface and then touch their face, they are at high risk of contracting diseases. This means that you need to clean, disinfect and sanitize everything on your industrial property on an ongoing basis.
Whether you are operating as a factory, manufacturing/production unit, warehouse, food production company, transportation provider, or maintenance zone, you must give priority to the health and safety of employees and customers. They expect it from you.
The typical high-contact infection points in industrial establishments are:
● Machinery and tools● Equipment and control panels
● Vehicles
● Walkway and stair handrails
● Office areas
● Canteen areas
● Rest rooms
DISINFECTION PROGRAM
COVID-19 has made the disinfection and sanitization of public places and facilities such as hotels, offices and other workplaces such as factories a priority. Extra emphasis is now vital to ensure surfaces are clean and safe, and not contributing to the spread of the disease.
NCH Asia's full disinfection and sanitization program and solutions are ideal for facilities managers looking for an effective, cost-effective solution. To ensure the most effective results, you should follow these steps:
STEP 1: CLEAN
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the first step in any disinfection and sanitization program should be standard cleaning. Germs and bacteria can hide underneath dirt and other items on surfaces. Before any sanitization takes place, these areas must be cleaned and tidied.
By doing this, you can ensure that when you proceed to disinfect and sanitize the area, you won't miss anything. Once areas are clean, you can proceed to the next step.
STEP 2: DISINFECTION
Disinfecting highly-trafficked areas will help minimize the spread of COVID-19, as well as many other viruses and bacteria which can pose a risk. You should prioritize cleaning and disinfecting:
-High-traffic areas: these will often feature doorknobs, security keypads, and elevator buttons.
-High-risk areas: these are areas where germs are easily spread, such as handrails and public bathrooms.
-High-safety areas – like food preparation and handling areas.
STEP 3: SANITIZATION
This process is not a one-time thing, and you must be consistently cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing for the best results.
These priority areas should be regularly sanitized to keep the area as hostile to germs and bacteria as possible, reducing the occurrence of microorganisms.
