Employee Hygiene and Workplace Cleanliness: How To Keep Employees Healthy and Productive
Employee Hygiene and Workplace Cleanliness Webinar Recording
A comprehensive safety program will usually cover most of the common workplace hazards: accident avoidance, machine guarding and safety, slips and falls, and so on.
But there is one area that you (and your safety program) may have forgotten to address. The risks and hazards are so common that they have probably been overlooked entirely - which is a mistake.
Employee hygiene and workplace cleanliness can affect your company in a variety of significant ways, including absenteeism, “presenteeism,” reduced productivity, and increased health care costs. Yet most companies do not have any kind of policy or strategy to address this area of concern.
Is your company one of them? Join us on April 25 for an in-depth webinar to get your workplace up to speed on this important, but oft-forgotten, topic.
You’ll learn:
- The high return on investment in this area, with just a few simple tweaks and modifications to your existing programs and policies
- The potential hazards and exposures that should be considered
- Why a well-maintained HVAC system is critical to minimizing (or even eliminating) potential health concerns

- Why an effective housekeeping program that focuses on keeping work area surfaces clean is important
- How to deal with employees who refuse to comply with employee hygiene requirements
- What you can do right now to generate more support and involvement from your senior managers and employees
- Why simple things such as hand washing are so important – and how to reinforce these behaviors at work
- Why eating, drinking, and smoking in the workplace, especially when hazardous chemicals are being used, must be addressed - and effective strategies that you can use
- Suggestions for dealing with employees who are ill but choose to come to work anyway
- How to continue “pot lucks” and other celebrations without the potential health risks that can occur
- How to publicize your Employee Hygiene and Workplace Cleanliness Program for maximum benefit and exposure
- How to get your cleaning contractor fully on board with your program
