Infectious Control Cleaning

The World Health Organisation (WHO) announced on March the 11th that COVID-19 is now officially a pandemic. Having an Infectious Control Cleaning Plan will provide a safe & healthy workplace once it re-opens after being closed from a work colleague being diagnosed with COVID-19. Additional cleaning services added to workplaces to sanitise surfaces to eliminate or reduce the likelihood of a COVID-19 infection is recommended.

Workplace Safety From Bacteria & Viruses

Infection is caused by pathogens (‘bugs’) such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi getting into or onto the body. It can take some time before the microbes multiply enough to trigger symptoms of illness, which means an infected person may unwittingly be spreading the disease during this incubation period.

Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person in the first place. Employers are obliged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 to provide a safe workplace for their employees, including the provision of adequate infection control procedures.

What is an Infectious Control Cleaning Plan for The Workplace?

An infectious Control Cleaning Plan is a specific plan for the workplace in the event there is a work colleague diagnosed with COVID-19 and the workplace is closed. It will give a detailed plan of the cleaning procedures required to sanitise areas in the workplace. After sanitisation of the workplace is completed, a certificate of compliance will be issued allowing the workplace to re-open. Providing a certificate of compliance gives peace of mind to all employees the workplace has been sanitised to return back to a worksafe environment.
