Top Ways to Stop Germs at the Office

This video showcases the results of a study conducted by a University of Arizona research team. The study focused on identifying the most bacteria-laden surfaces in office environments. Researchers collected samples from various locations within office buildings.

After swabbing nearly 5,000 surfaces, the study found that certain areas were worse than others in terms of contamination. Faucet handles on break room sinks, microwave door handles, computer keyboards, and refrigerator door handles were the dirtiest surfaces. Bacteria thrive on these surfaces, hence the need to hire an office cleaning company.

The findings highlight the importance of regular cleaning and disinfection. Bacteria can easily spread from these contaminated surfaces to employees, potentially causing illnesses and infections. This study also emphasized proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing. Doing so reduces the risk of bacterial transmission.

Employers should promote cleanliness in the workplace, providing hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes for employees to use. It’s interesting to note that men’s bathrooms typically have more bacteria than women’s. The exact reasons for this difference are unclear. One possible explanation could be that women tend to be more hygienic. The video also highlights the importance of handwashing and hand sanitizing in reducing the spread of illnesses such as colds, flu, and stomach viruses among office workers. In fact, these practices can potentially reduce the rates of such illnesses by up to 80%.
