Office Workers Beware of Germs!
Nov 11
In a recent study done by the University of Arizona, it was discovered that office workers are exposed to more germs from their phones and computer keyboards than from the bathroom toilet seat! Furthermore, it was found that work stations contain nearly 400 times as many microbes as bathrooms!
So what can you do? Office equipment should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria responsible for disease. The 3 office items that harbor the most microbes are phones, keyboards, and computer mice and thus they should be cleaned frequently. Also, promptly clean up any food or beverage spills as they can support mini ecosystems of bacteria.
Finally, make sure to exercise good hygiene by washing hands properly or using a hand sanitizer to reduce your spread of germs. For more information on proper hygiene and preventative measures to take to reduce the spread of germs, check out these videos:
