IT Professionals

The average office keyboard can harbour more bacteria than a dirty toilet seat! This is due to poor hygienic practice of people. Some keyboards do not get cleaned, and others are quite simply used by people who do not wash their hands properly (e.g. before eating, after the using the toilet, after coughing or sneezing, after touching their face or body etc.).

IT Professionals in particular spend much of their time using other peoples keyboards. For this reason they should be very aware of the risks they are exposed to in their daily lives. They should be equally aware that they also represent a risk, should they not employ good hygienic practice.

How to AvoidTheBugs when visiting your Customers: 
  • Keep a hand sanitiser in your car or laptop bag at all times
  • Use the hand sanitiser before and after work
  • If you shake someones hand, do so with clean hands
  • Use your hand sanitiser after shaking someones hand or touching an object that others may have been in contact with (e.g. door handle, mouse, keyboard, phone, banister, lift button etc.) 
  • If you're sick, don't go to work
