Since no two institutions are the same, no two wellness promotion strategies can be the same either. Facility inspections provide facility managers with a thorough understanding of a location, enabling them to see any possible weak spots and choose the right amount of cleaning and indoor air quality intervention. 1- Manage a Facility Check-Up Performing a thorough inspection of the entire facility, including the janitorial, HVAC and mechanical, engineering, lighting, power and electrical, parking, and landscaping, is the first step in a proper facility risk assessment.

In recent years, disinfection technology has taken a giant leap forward. Electrostatic disinfection technology has emerged as a game-changing approach to disinfecting surfaces and environments. This innovative technology uses an electrostatic sprayer that creates a positive charge on the disinfectant mist, making it adhere more effectively to surfaces, leaving no space for bacteria and viruses to survive. So, how does electrostatic disinfection technology work? Electrostatic machines use positive electrical charges to infuse the disinfectant mist as it exits the sprayer. The mist droplets, being negatively charged, stick to surfaces and objects, enveloping them entirely to create a wraparound effect. This 360-degree coverage ensures that every nook and cranny is disinfected, leaving behind a thoroughly clean and healthy environment. Why choose electrostatic disinfection technology? Electrostatic disinfection technology is an incredibly efficient method of disinfecting surfaces and envi...

Use non-toxic cleaning products to avoid irritation caused by harsh chemicals in some cleaning products. 5. Encourage employees to practice good hygiene habits such as washing their hands regularly and covering their mouths ...

To prevent the spread of infectious diseases, healthcare facilities should implement strategies for infection control even before a sudden spike occurs. In outpatient healthcare facilities, the practice manager or business owner must collaborate with the janitorial service team to create robust strategies, while the Infection Control Prevention (ICP) manager or nursing director is responsible for working with environmental services to ensure that infections are not spreading. When planning for these cleaning strategies, it's important to consider the type of cleaning chemicals being used. Reviewing the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all cleaning chemicals is a good practice to avoid using harmful or hazardous chemicals that can negatively impact the health of janitorial staff and building occupants. Many janitorial companies are now opting for safer and more sustainable options such as green cleaning. Green cleaning is a systematic approach to cleaning that uses specific strategies an...
