Routine Environmental Cleaning
Routine cleaning can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the workplace.
Routinely clean frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, doorknobs, phone handles, timeclocks, cabinet and drawer handles, microwaves, and refrigerator handles. Provide disposable disinfecting wipes to allow employees to wipe down surfaces before each use.
Sample Routine Environmental Cleaning Policy
To support a healthy and clean work environment, employees should routinely clean frequently touched surfaces within their workspace. A designated person will be assigned the responsibility to clean shared workspaces every shift change. Employees are encouraged to use disposable disinfectant wipes to clean commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, kitchen-related handles) before each use.
