Did you know that working in dirty and messy environments directly impacts our professional and personal performance? On the other hand, when we maintain cleanliness in the workplace, we can make better use of all spaces and reduce resource wastage.
That’s why keeping the environment organized and clean has become a priority in the corporate world. Besides providing well-being and quality of life, a clean and organized work environment prevents the emergence of bacteria that cause diseases, also helping in employee performance.
Cleaning in the workplace is not just a matter of appearance! To learn more, check out the following consequences for employees when they work in unhealthy conditions.
What are the health risks?
Besides the visual aspect, including dust, stains on the floor, bathrooms with strong odors, equipment with spider webs, among others, there is dirt that, even though invisible to our eyes, is a big villain for our health.
Have you ever imagined the number of bacteria and dust mites that live around us? They are very harmful. However, with proper and constant cleaning, it is possible to prevent the spread of these microorganisms in the workplace.
It’s worth remembering that bacteria and other microorganisms can cause coughs, pneumonia, meningitis, among other complications capable of compromising employee productivity and, consequently, company profits. Smaller but equally harmful risks, such as allergies, can also be eliminated with proper hygiene.
What are the risks of contamination from improper use of products?
Some cleaning chemicals can also be harmful when handled without proper care. In some cases, environments that present critical cleaning conditions need to be decontaminated by stronger and toxic products. Therefore, cleaning companies should double their attention and always choose products that do not harm the health of their employees.
Intoxication from this type of material is very common within companies, in addition to the serious risk of allergies and fainting. An alternative is to isolate the area before applying any product and wait to return to normal activities. This is a measure that can delay some processes and the organization’s routine. It would be better to avoid reaching this point, right?
And the risks of contamination in production?
If the company is a chemical products industry, for example, there is also a risk of contamination in production. Products or raw materials are at risk of being contaminated by dirt, residues of chemical agents, or microorganisms adhered to glassware, machinery, or laboratory bench surfaces during product preparation.
Every precaution is necessary, and in this case, cleaning goes beyond just hygiene and organization-related issues.
In this type of work environment, it is necessary to establish a cleaning expiration date and always monitor it to avoid jeopardizing product quality and employee safety.
To minimize and even eliminate all these risks, it is important to hire specialized professional cleaning for your company. Delta Pro Clean has over 8 years of experience in this area.
