While most bacteria found on desks may be harmful, a cold or flu virus can spread from one contaminated door handle to nearly 40-60% of commonly touched objects in around 2-4 hours, so practicing good hygiene in shared areas like offices is key.
According to a Government study, over 130 million work days are lost each year to sickness related absences which costs the UK economy around £100 billion per year, so it’s imperative that employers contribute to a more hygienic workplace with the implementation of Biomaster technology to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
