The pandemic in South Africa has meant that sanitisation and hygiene in the workplace now plays an important role in minimising the spread of the virus. Offices are at high risk for contraction as employees work closely with one another. To ensure complete safety in the workplace, it is essential to undergo proper sanitisation through methods like fogging.
Fogging is a technique where sanitising solutions are mixed with water and sprayed in a fine mist through the air. Special fogging machines are needed to create this fine mist of disinfectant solution. The particles float through the air and eventually settle on all surfaces, covering an entire room and its contents. Fogging is usually used for large areas that can be difficult to sanitise by hand.
The benefits of fogging
The ‘fog’ completely disinfects and kills any bacteria or viruses in the air or on interior surfaces. This is a highly effective method for sanitising hard-to-reach areas, as well as high-touch objects within a room, like door handles, countertops, light switches and elevator buttons. This will ensure that employees are protected from viruses inside the office.
It is also effective for sterilising computers and other electronic equipment. Since computer hardware is sensitive to moisture, sterilisation with liquid sanitisers can be problematic. Now is the perfect time to use fogging services as remote working means that there are fewer employees and customers in the workplace.
Fogging is fast and effective
Fogging is one of the best sterilisation options because of how quick the process is. The sanitisation of an entire room only takes a few minutes, which causes minimal disruption in a busy work environment. Once the process is done, the room can be used within an hour or two if the right chemicals are used. These should be environmentally-friendly and safe for humans.
Some chemical sanitisers can be toxic, such as ammonia-based disinfectants. These are obviously dangerous for employees and will be inconvenient for use in the workplace. Instead, opt for biocide fogging which has no residual toxicity and does not render the room unusable for long periods of time.
Disinfecting areas by hand is extremely time-consuming and can be costly. That is why fogging is the best option for most companies as it ensures that their employees are safe from viruses and pathogens that can be spread throughout the workplace. Be sure to choose a sanitisation company that creates an ideal work environment.
