Why Your Facility Needs An Environmental Solution In Place

What do we mean when we say an environmental solution?

There are many things that go into making our indoor environment safe and clean. The actions that we are able to take to ensure a clean, healthy work or living space are “environmental solutions”.

While we know there are concerns about the outdoor environment, we choose to focus on our indoor conditions. After all, most of us spend enormous amounts of time between four walls. The EPA reports that, on average, Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors. 

Benefits Of A Clean Workplace

People are the most important part of any church, business, or school. So, it is our responsibility to provide the best environment possible for employees, visitors, students, or parishioners. There are profound benefits that result from a clean building.

1. Health and Safety
2. The reduction of harmful microbes on surfaces helps to prevent unnecessary spread of illness. 
3. Having a clean, neat organization can also minimize accidents and injuries. This means less risk of slips and falls, which translates into minimized liability.
4. Cleanliness can reduce stress and anxiety of employees. 
5. Increased Satisfaction and Productivity
6. Businesses report fewer sick days when a proper cleaning program is put into practice. It is estimated that $225.8 billion is lost annually to sick days for employees. Fewer sick days translates into increased efficiency. 
7. When a facility is cleaned routinely and the workspace is well maintained, employees report higher satisfaction in their jobs. Increased satisfaction results in elevated quality and efficiency. 

An Environmental Solution For You

Each structure is unique and every individual has specific expectations or needs. So, there must be a strategic approach to the result we want to accomplish.

So, what can you do about your environment?

Dust, Debris, Soils and Stains

First, we must remove all the things that are not appealing to our eyes. Not only are these unattractive, they also serve as an obstacle to the really bad stuff we cannot see such as harmful microbes, mold spores, VOCs, dust mites, etc.

There are several aspects to the manual removal of dirt and dust. They can range from physically wiping with microfiber cloths and chemicals to using heavy equipment to extract soils from carpet or polish hard floors. 

Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality can be a problem for a lot of us. Dust mites, mold spores and allergens can be kept to a minimum resulting in more comfort. 

Many things can be done to help us with the air we breathe inside. Cleaning the ductwork, using HEPA filters, ozone and hydroxyl treatments are all very effective at reducing harmful airborne and surface threats.

Maintain Control

Now that our surroundings are clean, we must create a plan to keep it that way. Develop a program to routinely address the issues. Every facility needs a plan based on the type of traffic, the frequency of that traffic, and the results expected.
