Research into the cleanliness of offices shows that each square inch of a keyboard can contain up to 3,295 different kinds of germs, and that bugs such as listeria or salmonella can linger for up to 24 hours on the keys, the computer mouse and 'phone. When the IT equipment is shared with colleagues such as in call centre environments the problem intensifies.
Despite this warning, management rarely see workstation cleanliness as a top priority. However, a clean workplace environment has many distinct advantages. Whilst limiting the spread of infection which is a chief cause of sickness and absence, regular cleaning also extends equipment lifetime, helps to project a professional image and improves staff morale by proving that their wellbeing is a priority to their employers.
