The UK government recently published guidelines laying out five key steps for making workplaces safe for employees during coronavirus pandemic. As one of those steps, professional cleaning services have a vital role to play in getting the UK back to work. But what steps do you need to take to safely reopen your workplace?
From evaluating which cleaning services you require to make your workplace safe for your employees to return, to putting an effective ongoing programme in place to maintain that safe level of clean, and assisting you in providing adequate sanitary and washroom facilities, Atkins Gregory can help you make your workplace a safe, clean, virus-free environment.
A key initial step towards reopening your workplace is to conduct an assessment of the hygiene and cleaning requirements you need to take to deliver a safe environment.
A deep clean, focusing on decontamination of high contact points such as handrails, washrooms and door handles will reduce the risk of contamination spreading and provide your employees with increased confidence that they will be returning to a clean and healthy workplace.
