Maintaining a Hygienic and Comfortable Physical Environment
We recognise that maintaining a hygienic and comfortable physical work environment is crucial. Our protocols prioritise cleanliness and air quality, as well as the thoughtful management of facilities and amenities.
Effective Cleaning Protocols
The cornerstone of a hygienic environment is rigorous cleaning. We ensure that all surfaces, from desks to door handles, are meticulously cleaned using high-grade disinfectants proven to eliminate pathogens. Our schedule is as follows:
- Daily Cleaning: All common touchpoints are sanitised.
- Weekly Deep Cleaning: Thorough scrubbing of all surfaces to maintain sanitation.
Ventilation and Air Quality Control
Fresh air is essential for a comfortable workplace. We strike a balance between mechanical and natural ventilation to optimise air quality. Our ventilation systems are regularly serviced to ensure they meet industry standards for air filtration and circulation. The key points include:
- Frequent inspection and maintenance of HVAC systems.
- Use of HEPA filters to trap contaminants.
Amenities and Facilities Management
Toilets, kitchens, and drinking water facilities are pivotal in our day-to-day comfort and health. Therefore, we enforce:
- Toilets: Regular cleaning, with ample supplies of soap and hand sanitiser.
- Kitchens: Surfaces and fixtures are kept clean, with protocol for washing utensils.
- Drinking Water: Ensuring availability of clean drinking water for hydration.
Through these meticulous protocols, we create a workplace environment that not only meets but exceeds health and safety standards.
Protective Measures for Non-Employee Groups
Ensuring that everyone who interacts with our business is protected requires specific measures for different groups. Here we outline how we safeguard our customers, visitors, contractors, and external partners.

Managing Contractors and External Partners
Working with external entities such as contractors is a critical part of our operations. It is imperative that these groups also adhere to our safety standards.
