As of late, people are starting to head back into a physical work environment. Therefore, bosses and business owners need to ensure their employees are safe from catching COVID-19 by taking extra precautions, enforcing guidelines, and practicing necessary cleaning regimens. To help you ease back into a face to face work environment in Tallahassee during a pandemic, we outlined the most effective workplace practices to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 around your office:

Maintain ventilation systems in your Tallahassee office:

Per the information released by the CDC, COVID-19 spreads much easier indoors than outdoors. Poor ventilation in your Tallahassee office can cause airborne viruses to spread amongst your staff. Therefore, we recommend having a professional inspect your HVAC system to ensure it is working correctly. To improve ventilation even further, you can open the windows and doors in your office to let in some natural air. If you don’t have any windows in your office, investing in some air purifiers will do the trick.

Encourage sick people to work from home:

We understand that everyone is excited to return to normality. However, if an employee is experiencing cold-like symptoms, it’s best to ask them to work from home for two weeks to prevent an outbreak in your office.

Have the right cleaning products on hand:

You may have the right intentions when disinfecting your office, but if you’re not using the right products, all your hard work goes to waste! Remember, to kill COVID-19 you must use disinfectants after cleaning. To find out if the disinfectant you use is proven to kill COVID-19, check out the EPA’s disinfectant tool. You can simply input your product’s EPA number into the system, and it will let you know whether or not it’s effective.  

Disinfect Regularly:

Occasional disinfecting won't cut it if you want to keep COVID-19 out of your Tallahassee office. According to WebMD, COVID-19 can remain active on surfaces for up to 28 days. Therefore, daily disinfection is the best way to ensure high-contact surfaces are consistently free of germs.Unfortunately, just as we began to open up our office doors again, COVID-19 cases have increased. We understand that a busy business owner like yourself doesn’t have the time to prepare the office daily by cleaning and disinfecting to kill active pathogens and viruses. That’s why we have a trained staff fully equipped with the right cleaning products to reduce the spread of COVID-19 around your office. We also offer electrostatic disinfection. The electrostatic technology uses an air compressor to evenly spray surfaces with electrostatically charged disinfectant. This charge sanitizes spaces with a large force that begins working within two minutes and remains active for up to 4 days. Electrostatic disinfection has proven to be effective at mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and has been widely implemented by many learning and healthcare facilities around the country.
