Tips for Reducing the Number of Employee Sick Days

Erin Meyer • Feb 26, 2015

kitchen The health of a building has a direct link to the health of the employees who work inside it. A building’s health is determined by its structural integrity and cleanliness. In Florida, central cooling systems can easily be used all year round, which means that they require regular maintenance to not only operate, but to also be kept clear of mold and dust. The cleaner the ducts and filters are kept, the less likely employees and clients are to be negatively affected by allergens. In addition to regular cleaning and maintenance, the following are some common things that can be addressed in both business and home settings.

Keeping Dust Out Of Air

Beyond keeping the ducts and vents clear of dust, it is also important to routine dusting of high areas, ventilation covers, and general surfaces. If dust is visible, even settled, it can be a serious agitant to allergy sufferers. Prolonged agitation of allergies can lead to sinus infections, which ultimately result in employees requiring more sick leave. Dusting should be a part of regular cleaning for offices and should be done using the most efficient and appropriate materials available. Microfiber and advanced dust-trapping materials, as well as cleansers to keep the dust from being riled into the air during cleaning, are common examples of the most efficient dusting tools.

Mold and Mildew Will Not Do

In addition to keeping ducts and vents clear of dust, the humidity of Florida is a nearly year round issue that makes dealing with the heat even more tedious. The near constant need for ventilation and cooling systems to be run can lead to increased levels of mold and mildew in ducts where the moisture pools as a result of the humidity being condensed. The first sign of stale or musty odors coming from vents should signal an inspection and cleansing. Mold and mildew can be a rose irritant to allergy and non allergy sufferers alike and result in even more sick days from prolonged exposure to airborne spores.

Being Vigilant is Key

When it comes to preventing loss of income from employee sick days, vigilance is key. Having a reliable cleaning service attend to your building’s dust and routine needs is one of the best ways to guarantee a decrease in work-related sick days. Aside from improving the work environment, keeping the ducts clean and clear can also improve the quality of impression that existing and new customers have of a business.

Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom.

One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained.
