Minimize Germ Spread This Cold and Flu Season

As the crisp autumn air rolls in, unfortunately, so does the inevitable rise in cold and flu cases. While we can’t control the germs circulating in our environments, we can certainly minimize their spread, especially in high-traffic areas like commercial buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. Here’s how our technologies can help you create a healthier space this season.

1. Automatic Doors: A Hands-Free Solution

Automatic doors are a key component in minimizing contact with high-touch surfaces. By eliminating the need to physically push or pull doors, these systems significantly reduce the spread of germs. With options that include sensor-activated and touchless entry, your facility can ensure that visitors and employees can enter and exit without unnecessary contact. This is especially beneficial in hospitals or food service establishments, where hygiene is paramount.

2. Regular Maintenance for Optimal Performance

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your entrance systems operate effectively. Keeping automatic doors and other access solutions in top condition means they’ll function as intended, creating safer environments. A proactive maintenance schedule can help identify potential issues before they arise, ensuring your facilities remain germ-resistant throughout the season.

3. Promoting Hygiene Awareness

In addition to utilizing advanced entrance solutions, promoting hygiene practices among staff and visitors is crucial. Consider placing signage that encourages handwashing and the use of hand sanitizer near entry points. Installing touchless hand sanitizing stations can also reinforce good habits and create a welcoming environment that prioritizes health!

 

So don’t let yucky germs get in the way of all of the fun fall festivities! Go touch-free, and stay healthy all season long!
