Workplace Prevention: Cold & Flu Season

When the days get shorter, temperatures drop and those long Michigan winters begin, it’s time to prepare for cold and flu season.

Viruses thrive in these colder months, especially in interior office spaces where employees are closer together.

But you can help to prevent the spread of COVID-19, cold and flu viruses. Follow CDC recommendations to help employees get vaccinated and make the workplace a safe and healthy space.

Put preventative measures in place, including:

• Encouraging employees and customers to wear personal protective equipment
• Utilizing virus disinfecting & mitigation services or using electrostatic sprayers to clean the workplace
• Stationing sanitizers & dispensers in all common areas
• Installing barriers & dividers between workspaces and in front of cash registers or public facing desks
• Making the interior office space safer with a full workplace reconfiguration
• Placing signs & decals in busier areas as a reminder to practice social distancing
