Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in public areas is paramount, especially in public transport vehicles, such as buses, trains, trams and taxis, where passengers continuously share confined spaces, frequently touched surfaces, and common seating areas. In a recent 2023 study, 47% of UK-based adults have concerns surrounding germs on public transport, with 1 in 5 saying they still prefer wearing masks on all forms of public transport. With the recent spike in the global COVID-19 virus, it’s no surprise that people are reluctant to use public transport and continue to take precautions, including wearing masks in public vehicles.

Although the winter season brings snowfall, and wet and frosty weather, it is also a time when people are out shopping for the holiday period. With the increase in foot traffic potentially creating dangerous wet floor conditions, retailers need to prepare their stores, not only for the festive season rush but to ensure they have the correct health and safety measures in place to protect both staff and customers. This guide offers comprehensive strategies to maintain safety within retail settings without compromising the excitement of holiday shopping.

Cleanliness is a basic necessity that should be offered to all environments. Whether in a retail store, office building or a school, a clean establishment is mandatory and essential to the health and well-being of the people using the space. Schools and nurseries require an extra level of care when it comes to cleanliness as children, with their developing immune systems and curious nature often leads to touching multiple surfaces, making them more susceptible to infectious diseases than adults.  

In the healthcare industry, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) stands as a crucial line of defence between health workers and the myriad of infectious agents they encounter daily. From routine check-ups to managing global pandemics, PPE plays a pivotal role in safeguarding both healthcare professionals and their patients. Our comprehensive guide aims to equip you with essential knowledge about PPE - its types, proper usage, and best practices. Understanding the ins and outs of PPE is paramount for maintaining a safe working environment.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your staff from getting sick is by regular hand washing. Research shows that only ‘61% of employees wash their hands properly with soap and warm water after visiting the toilet’, which means there's still 39% of people who don’t! Workplace hygiene is crucial, especially in shared workplaces, and since the new rise of COVID-19 in the UK, it has become even more important to promote good hand hygiene practices in any workplace.
