It is a reality, 78% of people believe that there is a high risk in offices, but 6 out of 10 feel more at ease when they see cleaning tasks in action. However, 55% of contracts are lost due to poor service and G2 Green can help to avoid this and do it more efficiently.
Whenever we talk about risky professions, the most normal thing to think about is the police or the military. Also firefighters and forest rangers. Then come the work at heights: window cleaners, telecommunications personnel, façade maintenance, chimney sweepers, of which there are still some, and, in short, all those who need to be suspended from a harness to carry out their activity. The same is true at depth for miners, cavers, divers and scuba divers. Then come the four (or two) wheelers and not only racing drivers and heavy machinery. Also those of transportation, with airplanes at the forefront. This is followed by truck drivers, carriers, delivery drivers and couriers. That’s not all. There are many more…
“… potentially hazardous processes, activities or operations shall be understood as those which, in the absence of specific preventive measures, give rise to risks for the safety and health of the workers who carry them out”. Law 31/1995 on Occupational Risk Prevention”.
Oil rig employees; workers exposed to toxic hazardous substances, radioactive material or high electrical voltage; fishermen; circus performers; athletes in general; and even movie stuntmen who fearlessly perform the most dangerous sequences… And yet, nothing is ever said about the offices. They certainly look like safe places at first glance, but they are not so safe. The risks are there, even if they are not seen or felt. Something that makes them even more dangerous because they go unnoticed. Nor is it an unexpected scolding from the boss or a customer, the accidental deletion of a document, or even the failure of the Internet service. They go beyond that and germs, viruses and bacteria are everywhere.
98% of all workers who work inside an office will be affected by some type of contagious disease in their lifetime due to poor cleaning methods in their workplaces and the use of ineffective products.
Risks of poor office cleaning
This is no exaggeration. They can hide in an elevator button or under a computer keyboard. Even making coffee in the machine can pose serious health risks. They are always there and the data confirms it. Lack of cleanliness leads to millions of sick days. Exactly 9.1 working days per person per year, and that has major economic consequences. In the United Kingdom, they have been calculated at more than £13.7 billion. A significant amount of money that could be saved with effective cleaning products that only cost a few euros. In addition, they are usually enclosed spaces. Thus, if someone has a virus in less than 4 hours he will have infected 50% of the people around him. It also distributes them on all types of surfaces, which are the source of 80% of infections.
Germs, viruses and bacteria in workplaces
It is not by chance. There are 400 times more germs on an office desk than on a toilet seat. Office telephones accumulate up to 25,127 germs per square inch, while keyboards have up to 3,295 and mice slightly less at 1,676. It’s scary just thinking about it, the dangers are there. Comparisons are odious, but… the button on the photocopier is four times the size of the dish in which pets eat and the handle on the door of the meeting room is four times the size of the steering wheel of a rental car. However, the worst is in the coffee pot carafe. No more and no less than 128,592. The most common are: norovirus, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella sp, escherichia coli flu, rotavirus… All of them, to a greater or lesser extent, dangerous and costly for the health of workers.
Nearly one-third of all employees report that their workspaces and lack of cleanliness worsen allergy symptoms. In addition, 55% of all office cleaning company contracts are lost due to poor service.
