Healthy air & hands

It seems we’re not out of the woods yet with this pandemic, and it remains essential that we practice good social distancing and hygiene practices. 

The GJK Facility Services blog recently published some excellent advice on air quality and hand washing, that I thought would be worth sharing here. 

Improving air quality: 

• Minimise fragrances 

• Minimise VOCs (volatile organic compounds, found in many paints and cleaning products)

• Remove dust and mould safely (so it won’t be released back into the air) via damp dusting, HEPA filters, deep cleaning and extraction, and HVAC maintenance

Improving hand hygiene: 

• Wash your hands often, with soap and water 

• If you can’t access soap and water, use alcohol-based hand-sanitisers 

• In the workplace, ask for hands-free soap dispensers and paper hand-towels

• Bring personal mini sanitiser bottles and sanitising wipes for your desk
