With Australians now looking to head back to the office, the hygiene and safety of public transport has become the primary concern for commuters who rely on it.

In mid-April, “movements around suburban railway stations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane were down to about 10 per cent of normal levels, according to aggregated data based on mobile phone usage from transport consultants Veitch Lister” (Source: ABC Online).

However, last week Prime Minister Scott Morrison declared that Australia must work to curb the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, which means that workplaces and the broader economy must become ‘COVID-safe’ to minimise local transmission during this period.

To boost public confidence in communal areas and transport, it is vital that businesses and commuters are aware of the possible risks and hazards they’ll be facing and will need to address.

While commuters have been urged to maintain social-distancing measures, it is imperative that individuals take extra precautions, like wearing face masks or gloves in common spaces, to maximise personal safety when using buses, trains and ferries.

Perhaps more importantly, maintaining the safety of shared spaces on public transport will be the foremost challenge and focus of the State Government and businesses whose workers rely on the network to get to work.

Olinga Services has recently extended their partnership with the New South Wales State Government to deliver specialised infection control services to Sydney’s train services, including sanitisation of carriages, stations and public areas.

As part of their bespoke COVID-19 service, Olinga Services will be performing daily sanitisation of trains using hospital grade disinfectant on all high touchpoint surfaces including handrails, poles and handles across the rail network.

Our expert team will be using hospital grade disinfectant to sanitise benches, handrails, window-ledges and seats, across all major rail networks.

“Our cleaning services will be routinely performed over the course of the day so that commuters can rest assured that their transit is safe and COVID-free.

We pride ourselves on high quality and accountable service – the live progress of our workers will be available for our business partners via our bespoke app,” says Olinga Services spokesperson Badi Mahabat.

Olinga Services’ COVID-19 cleaning services are also available to businesses who are looking to ensure the safety of their office space for returning workers. In addition to their antiviral and preventative touchpoint cleaning services, Olinga Services can provide high pressure cleans for hard surfaces and personal protection packs to enable your staff to protect themselves, whether traveling to work or home.

The packs contain all necessary personal protection equipment recommended by the Department of Health. “Our current range includes an Infection Control Pack, Travel Pack and Everything Essentials Pack – all of which are specially designed with the health and safety of staff in mind”.
