What can I do to protect myself and others in the workplace against swine flu?

The best thing you can do to protect yourself and your employees is to follow good hygiene practices. These will help to slow the spread of the virus and will be the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself and others from infection.

When you cough or sneeze it is especially important to follow the rules of good hygiene to prevent the spread of germs.

Germs spread easily. Always carry tissues and use them to catch your cough or sneeze.

Germs can live for several hours on tissues. Dispose of your tissue as soon as possible.

Hands can transfer germs to every surface you touch. Clean your hands as soon as you can.

All areas traditionally damp dusted will be cleaned with a Surface Cleaner & Sanitizer Double Agent.*

Heavy 'touch traffic' areas, door handles, finger plates, hand rails, lift buttons etc sanitized daily.

All cleaners trained on infection control cleaning methods/ procedures and provided with disposable gloves.
