Seasonal Advice for Winter Flu
Absenteeism in the workplace traditionally rises in the winter months. Which may leave your business under resourced and staff overstretched.
The threat of flu cannot be eliminated, however by following some simple steps you can minimise the spread of germs in the workplace.
- Raise awareness of signs & symptoms of flu, eg, cough, sore throat, headache, runny nose
- Encourage employees who feel unwell with flu type symptoms, to go home and stay at home until recovered
- Consider home working, if practical, for some staff
- Promote a habit of “respiratory etiquette” ie: CATCH IT, BIN IT, KILL IT
- Ensure a good supply of hand-washing facilities
- Provide alcohol based waterless hand sanitizers for regular use, where hand-washing is not always possible
- Encourage employees to regularly clean and disinfect desk areas - particularly phones, especially if shared workstations
- Clean surfaces and door handles regularly with antibacterial cleaning materials
