When it comes time to return to the office, there are a number of measures you should be taking to ensure employees are protected from illness.
The current second wave of COVID-19 that is happening in Melbourne is a stark warning to businesses in Sydney, and the rest of the country.
Every effort must be made to minimise the spread of COVID-19 and any other virus in the office. Thankfully, there are some simple steps you can take.
Here are just a few things you can do to minimise the chance of COVID spreading in your workplace.
Regular Disinfecting
Regular disinfecting is now a must for every office.
Disinfecting properly will kill 99.99% of germs, which is higher than the 99.9% that sanatising eliminates.
This may not seem like a big difference, but it’s the reason why disinfecting is extremely important. That 0.09% difference in germs destroyed can prove deadly as the remainder can quickly spread illness throughout your staff.
Social Distancing
Social distancing is now as important in the office as it is in public.
A number of offices around the world have implemented social distancing, with wider corridors, directional walking and 1.5m between workstations and desks.
This distancing, combined with screens, PPE and regular commercial cleaning will make your efforts to create a healthy workplace far more effective.
Consistent Professional Common Room Cleaning
The common rooms in your office will see the most engagement between workers.
Therefore, to eliminate the spread of any harmful germs and bacteria in your office, it’s essential you have your common areas cleaned regularly.

This includes kitchens, lounges, breakout rooms, bathrooms and more.

Face Masks and Sanitising
Face masks may seem extreme, but in the current climate it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Research has shown that wearing a face mask in a confined area can help to reduce the spread of COVID-19 enormously.
Even when we speak at a normal level, hundreds of microscopic droplets fly in all directions from the mouth.
If the speaker is carrying harmful germs or a virus, then it will spread quickly.
However, when wearing a mask, virtually all of these droplets are contained. That means that if someone is carrying COVID-19,
