With winter now upon us, it is time to start thinking about what you need to do to prepare your office for this time of year. Your staff and yourself must make sure that your office is in winter-proof condition to ensure that there are no maintenance issues, or any illness is spread around the office.
In this article, the team here at Aspin FM are going to be sharing some of the best methods to prepare you and your staff for this chilly time of year. So, let’s get right into it…
First of all, preparing your office for winter isn’t just about making sure that the central heating systems are working, and draughts are sealed, it is also about preparing the working environment to be a healthy and productive setting for yourself and your staff.
With colds and flus being at its peak this time of year, take a look at some of these helpful tips and hacks below:
- Reduce damp in the workplace by placing damp traps by areas that tend to be damp, i.e. window areas
- Frequently clean your desks with antibacterial products like wipes and sprays
- Have a bottle of hand sanitiser on each desk to prevent the spreading of germs
- Tell your staff to wrap up warm for work, wearing an extra layer can help reduce them feeling cold and catching a cold
- Keep floors clean by vacuuming and mopping
- Take out the rubbish bins as soon as they get full
- Remove dust as often as possible
- Keep your desks organised
Just these simple tips can make an enormous difference. By following our advice, you can ensure that your office will become a much safer and healthier place to work every day.
