Step Up Your Cleaning Routine
Tips to establish a cleaning and disinfecting schedule in your workplace: Perform a site assessment before your employees return to work that outlines cleaning and disinfecting tasks. Ensure those performing the assessment are wearing the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Once the assessment is complete, write up a plan that includes the cleaning and disinfecting tasks to be completed. Determine the methods and products to be used. Selecting the right PPE and tools for the job is as important as the cleaning and disinfection products themselves. Types of tools include: mops, rags, and sprayers.
