Healthy workplaces post- lockdown


From public washrooms and workplaces, to shopping centres and restaurants, Airdri’s Marketing Manager, Trudi Osborne, shares her top tips for maintaining COVID-19 secure practices.


“As restrictions ease, it’s vital that


people don’t revert to their unhygienic bad hand hygiene habits.”


At the time of writing, lockdown was starting to ease. Some industries had been given the green light to ‘get back to work’ and people were able to move around more freely, under the condition that social distancing was upheld at all times. Shops re-opened and restaurants and bars prepared to open their doors (or outdoor areas) to customers for the first time since March.


As the virus retracts, there are positive signs that both the economy, and society, can reset and carve out the ‘new normal’. Although this news is met with huge relief, there are also reservations. According to recent research, more than two-fifths of UK workers are anxious about the prospect of returning to the workplace, due to the health risks still posed by the virus.


This is why workplace hygiene, and cleanliness across all settings, has never been more important. Businesses need to ensure that their safety measures instil confidence in the returning workforce and customers.


As we start to edge out of lockdown, we believe that two core washroom practices must be followed to protect infection control. These are removing bacteria from the hands, and eliminating microbes from the wider facility.


Hand hygiene


The importance of hand hygiene is now firmly in the forefront of peoples’ minds, having remained the first line of defence against the coronavirus since it began circulating. But as restrictions ease, it’s vital that people don’t revert to their unhygienic bad habits.


People must continue to wash hands and forearms with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. With damp hands 1000 times more likely to spread germs, it’s crucial that they are thoroughly dried too.


In recent months, there’s been much discussion about the safest way to dry hands during the pandemic, with the historic debate around paper towels versus hand dryers resurfacing. This has led to new research and guidelines

being released, which all confirm that both methods remain perfectly safe in public settings.


Furthermore, in May the government added hand dryers to the preferred method of hand drying in their ‘Working safely during Coronavirus’ guidelines, joining the advice given by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).


We firmly believe that electric hand dryers are the most hygienic and efficient way to dry hands. Not only are they touch-free and highly effective, they’re also kinder to the environment, using less energy and fewer natural resources than their paper counterparts.


Eliminating both airborne and


surface bacteria Maintaining a high level of air and surface cleanliness is also vital to removing the opportunity for germs to breed. Therefore, alongside a robust and regular cleaning rota, businesses should invest in a solution that automatically kills any surrounding viruses and bacteria.


We recently added a range of Air Purifier units to our portfolio, which have been proven to kill harmful viruses and bacteria, including the Coronavirus family.


Each of our purifier models can provide 24/7 infection and odour control by sanitising the surrounding air and exposed surfaces. The range includes three units, suitable for different environments, from the smaller washroom, to the office, medical practice and care home setting.


As the nation prepares to step out of lockdown, it’s crucial that the infection control efforts of the past few months aren’t forgotten. Never has it been more important to invest in your hygiene methods, not only to protect your staff and customers, but also to reduce the risk of any further outbreaks in the future.
