TILE PLUS – How to Clean Tiles, Stones & Concrete
Building service contractors are on the front line of Infection Prevention. They maintain the nations shopping centres, office blocks and hospitality venues which millions of people use every day.
Whenever you gather large numbers of people there’s a risk that dangerous bacteria and viruses will spread. Items and surfaces that are superficially clean can harbour infectious agents.Â
These infectious agents can exist in the natural environment, the built environment and on the body, according to the Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare, and they can be spread via contact, droplets and through the air.Â
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has demonstrated just how quickly harmful pathogens can spread and how disruptive they can be for office blocks and other facilities. There are many more viruses that circulate including common cold and influenza viruses, and dangerous pathogens like VRE, MRSA and more. Without strict infection prevention measures, these buildings could experience outbreaks of disease.
The good news is that the transmission of infection can be prevented. To achieve this, facilities need to commit to robust Infection Prevention procedures. This includes effective surface cleaning and disinfection, particularly of high-touch areas like workstations, door handles, meeting rooms, elevators, shared tables and bathroom facilities. It also requires excellent hand hygiene, achievable by ensuring that hand sanitisers are always easily accessible for staff and customers.
