Additionally, office equipment such as telephones, keyboards should always be cleaned.
- Promote handwashing – Employees should be encouraged to do regular and thorough handwashing. Moreover, if your workplace is open to contractors and customers this practice should be encouraged too. To do this, you can display safety reminders like posters. Furthermore, you can ensure that dispensers are regularly refilled and promote awareness through internal communications.
