Office germ hotspots: Where are your germs lurking?!
Offices are shared places where you and your colleagues share work, jokes, conversation, and more ominously, germs. So where can these germs be found? Well, these are the top office germ hotspots:
- Door handles- if your office has doors, you can be sure that nearly everyone in the building will touch the handle at least twice a day. But you can’t be sure that members of your team are not riddled with a contagious virus. Or even that they wash their hands. So it’s clear that the door handle will be smeared with germs. And it makes the perfect breeding ground.
- The kettle- everyone likes a cup of tea or coffee to get them through the work day. But that there is the problem. With so many people sharing the same kettle, its bound to be covered in germs and bugs.
- Your keyboard- if you eat at your desk, you can be pretty sure that crumbs will fall onto and into your keyboard. Which will be perfect food for the bacteria from your dead skin cells and greasy fingers!
Other popular locations include:
- the telephone
- fridge
- printer/photocopier
- water cooler
- the taps
- the cupboard doors
