Many Australians remain anxious about returning to the workplace, where employers have a primary responsibility to minimise virus-related risks. There are hefty penalties for employers who don’t follow Government restrictions and guidelines, and an employee suffers serious health consequences as a result. Anti-viral cleaning is now essential to avoid regulatory breaches and maximise employee safety, and employers should be aware that traditional cleaning practices are insufficient to keep workplaces virus-free.
Unfortunately, I have seen a significant number of workplaces cutting corners or unaware of the difference between general cleaning and COVID-19 sanitisation, thus applying poor practices that do not protect employees and visitors from infection.
