The Public Health Agency of Canada stated last week an increase of documented flu virus that is five times greater than last year. The hype around H1N1 ensured that people got prepared. The lack of hype this year with respect to H3N2 means a low number of people got the flu shot this year. This has caught many people and many businesses off guard with respect to precautions to ensure their employee base does not disappear from the office with the flu.

Is your office covered?

What people don’t realize is that a typical office worker’s hands come in contact with 10 million viruses or bacteria each day.  The most germ-ridden item on a desk is the phone, followed by the keyboard, computer mouse and desk top, all of which harbour over 6,000 germs per square inch.  Everything each person touches in the office becomes a bacterial area because viruses can survive on surfaces for days.

To get your office covered and ensure you keep your employees healthy, consider using an office cleaning service that can disinfect your office safely.  Jan-Pro is the only commercial office cleaning service in Canada that offers EnviroShield, a unique and environmentally safe disinfecting technology that covers every surface in the office to combat viruses and bacteria.  This eco-friendly, multi-purpose office disinfectant has an electrostatic charge that surrounds and clings to the surface killing harmful bacteria.  Consider protecting your employees from the H3N2 flu virus and other viruses with this disinfecting solution that is 100 percent effective and environmentally safe. Not only it covers all surfaces, but it requires less time than conventional methods rendering the service more affordable.
