How Arelli Can Help Maintain Compliance with the Latest Guidance for Reopening Schools

While many schools across Ontario are currently open to welcome students in person, there are new guidelines in place to help maintain safety that can be made easier to achieve through visits from janitorial cleaning services in Barrie.

The U.S.-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently released its advice about how school leaders can safely open schools for kindergarteners up to Grade 12 students. Among its recommendations are students should wear masks (and wear them correctly), while continuing to maintain physical distancing. Proper hand washing and coughing/sneezing etiquette should also be reinforced (meaning coughing into a tissue or using the inside of your elbow.)

How to Clean an Office Infected with COVID-19

It’s one of the biggest worries for many employers right now – what happens if a staff member or customer who tests positive for the COVID-19 virus has been in the workplace? While commercial office cleaning is your ally in this situation, there’s more to know about how to handle it.

The first step according to the CDC is to block off areas the infected person were known to be in the building (considering that the virus can survive for days on certain surfaces and that the virus is transmitted primarily through airborne droplets.) Opening windows or doors when possible to ventilate the areas is also helpful.

Target Higher-Risk Areas First

While the CDC says to wait a day before cleaning to minimize potential exposure, a cleaning services company can then be brought in to sanitize and disinfect the problem areas first, along with any common surfaces that could have been touched by the infected person such as doorknobs and bathrooms.

Making Use of Hand Sanitizers Effectively to Maintain Safety During the Pandemic

Now that many people are returning to the office, there are a number of precautions that employees can take to lower their risk of catching or spreading COVID-19. 

While social distancing and wearing proper PPE’s might be two approaches, proper commercial cleaning services and using hand sanitizers are other trusted ways to help keep the virus at bay. 

However, when it comes to sanitizers, there’s a right and wrong way to use it. Whether it’s your own supply at your workstation or from a public dispenser, ensure you are using one that is alcohol-based that contains at least 60% or higher alcohol. Put enough sanitizer on your hands to cover all surfaces of both sides of your hands and rub together to create friction like you would washing your hands with soap and water until they feel dry (this should take around 20 seconds). Ensure the sanitizers are not part of the ones being recalled.

Make Sure It’s Approved

When choosing a hand sanitizer, make sure the product has been approved by Health Canada. This does not mean they’re specifically aimed at coronavirus; however, these products have been shown to reduce the spread of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases.

Dos and Don’ts of Disinfecting and Sanitizing – CCOHS Guidelines

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety is the primary national agency in Canada dealing with safe and healthy workplaces. Their mandate is the prevention of work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths in all industries.

Industrial cleaning services like Arelli Cleaning look to the CCOHS to ensure their methods meet the standard of care needed for proper commercial cleaning and disinfection services. While some of these Dos and Don’ts seem like common knowledge, it’s important to keep them all top of mind when performing your own disinfecting and sanitizing.

(Note: these tips cover commercial disinfection services in workplaces other than healthcare facilities. Health care professionals should act based on their in-house infection control procedures)

As a general rule, workplaces should be free from garbage, debris, and infectious materials. While this feels like a no-brainer, any garbage that seems to be piling up should be dealt with immediately.
