With restrictions easing, many businesses are emerging from their COVID-mandated shutdowns with employees beginning to return to the office. Businesses have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace which may require additional infection control measures to ensure the health and safety of their workers, particularly with flu season about to start.
Implementing and maintaining effective infection control measures is quickly becoming the norm for both the private and public sectors, especially when it comes to securing the confidence of customers, patrons and employees. Health experts have warned that the 2020 flu season is expected to be particularly devastating in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a trusted partner of Transport for NSW and key provider of sanitisation services for the Sydney Trains network, Olinga Services is proud to have achieved the endorsement of the NSW State Government during a time when hygiene and safety is of paramount public importance.
Olinga Services not only offers high-quality cleaning services but also specialises in infection control and sanitisation services. There is a major difference between regular cleaning services and specific infection control sanitising. Regular cleaning focuses on the general removal of deposits of dust, soil and microbes on surfaces while infection control involves the use of hospital-grade disinfectant to remove infectious pathogens, focusing particularly on high-traffic areas and major touch-points.
“Our cleaners use a range of hospital-grade products and innovative technology to elevate your standard clean to a high-quality, effective hygiene solution,” says Olinga Services’ General Manager Badi Mahabat.
In particular, the team uses the latest in electrostatic spray technology to disinfect soft surfaces and large or hard-to-reach areas. It is a quick, one-step disinfecting process that kills 99.9% of bacteria as well as cold and flu viruses without any liquid pooling of chemicals often seen with regular trigger sprays. It is effective and safe to use on most surfaces.
“Before providing a quote, we send our team to undertake an assessment of your facility and then develop a detailed plan to maximise sanitisation of the area, with particular focus on decontamination and anti-viral services”.
“We pride ourselves on providing a well-rounded service,” says Mr Mahabat. “Clients are able to ascertain real-time progress of our cleaners via our proprietary tracking application, as well as rest-assured that their facilities remain compliant with existing hygiene standards”.
“Since we offer cleaning and sanitisation services to a range of facilities, including commercial, health and educational facilities, we also ensure our team undergo the relevant training and checks required to work with a range of assets”.
In light of the upcoming flu season, Olinga Services is also offering a range of personal protection packs that business owners can provide to their employees and patrons to ensure personal protective measures complement the onsite infection control sanitising.
“We are constantly looking at new ways to achieve higher standards of hygiene for our clients, and when it comes to ensuring they remain vigilant and proactive, our infection control packs seemed like the next big step in preventative practice.”
