Post Pandemic: The Importance of Disinfection

From manufacturing and food production plants to healthcare, hospitality, and shopping facilities, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a shift in basic cleaning and hygiene protocol for facility maintenance.

Experts predict the world will experience more infectious diseases and pandemics in the future, with potential risks spanning from climate change to spillover from animals to humans. As a result, the prevention of disease transmission is a matter of priority in commercial and industrial facilities at high risk of disease and infection transmission.

The World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) emphasize the importance of thorough cleaning and disinfection of facilities with industrial cleaning solutions to minimize the risk of spreading disease and infection.

For facility management, it is now critical to ensure that premises, machinery, and surfaces are not only cleaned but sanitized and disinfected as part of a thorough disinfection program to ensure the safety of the workforce, customers, and facility users.

Our industrial disinfection program delivers a tailored package of cleaning, disinfection, and sanitization chemicals to ensure cleanliness and safety in commercial facilities. NCH facility maintenance specialists work to assess, recommend, and implement a facility disinfection service that aligns with your cleaning/disinfection frequency and property requirements.

Minimizing the risk of disease transmission in your facility

Ensuring the health and safety of employees and customers is crucial, regardless of your company’s nature of operations.

As a matter of priority, many facilities resort to the use of hand sanitizers and hand washing stations. Whilst an initial step in enhancing hygiene protocol, more thorough prevention programs are required to manage the risk that diseases and infections pose.

Infected surfaces present a high risk of transmission for occupants, customers and the workforce in contact with them. Therefore, regular cleaning, disinfection, and sanitization of all areas and surfaces on your industrial property are necessary.

Common hotspots of infection include:

  • Machinery and tools
  • Equipment and control panels
  • Vehicles
  • Walkway and stair handrails
  • Office and canteen areas
  • Restrooms
  • Escalators and elevators

Our disinfection chemicals and program provide complete cleaning solutions to minimize the risk of disease transmission and infection in facilities. From factories, warehouses, and food production companies to hotels, shopping malls, and healthcare facilities, our disinfection solutions provide passive protection for the health and safety of your facility’s occupants.

Complete Cleaning, Disinfection & Sanitisation Solutions for Business Facilities

Our Business Facility Disinfection Program equips facility maintenance and management engineers with a complete, tailored range of chemical solutions to manage the risk of disease transmission and infection. Affordable and effective, our cleaning and disinfection solutions help to ensure the safety and cleanliness of your business.

Our Business Facility Disinfection Program recommends following these three steps for optimal results:

STEP 1: CLEAN

Standard cleaning is crucial before disinfecting and sanitizing. Soap/detergent and water can be used for cleaning to remove dirt, debris, dust, and other organic and inorganic materials that may harbor bacteria.

Industrial disinfection or sanitization without prior cleaning can lead to these materials becoming breeding grounds for harmful microbes, causing further contamination. This can also reduce the effectiveness of disinfection and sanitization, rendering your facility’s users at risk of infection.

STEP 2: DISINFECTION

Our disinfection solutions work to inactivate or destroy harmful microorganisms that remain after cleaning. It can further reduce the risk of transmission of viruses and bacteria, including novel coronavirus.

STEP 3: SANITIZATION

Our sanitization solutions further decrease the presence of viruses and bacteria on surfaces to a safe level. This step is crucial in reducing the transmission of infections and should not be skipped. 

The importance of Disinfection:

Industrial disinfection programs are essential to manage risk in areas of high contact, high traffic, and high safety concerns. Our disinfection solutions are ideal for: 

  • High-Traffic Areas: These areas include doorknobs, security keypads, light switches, faucets, and elevator buttons.
  • High-Risk Areas: These areas include handrails and public bathrooms where germs spread faster.
  • High-Safety Areas: These areas include food preparation and handling zones.

Cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing should be a regular, preferably daily, activity to ensure cleanliness and safety. Our industrial cleaning solutions can help maintain a germ-free environment, minimizing the presence of microorganisms.
