Our experts work with customers to ensure safety is considered surrounding&nbsp;<strong>H<\/strong>ygiene Factors,&nbsp;<strong>A<\/strong>tmosphere,&nbsp;<strong>T<\/strong>ouch and&nbsp;<strong>S<\/strong>ocial Distancing.<br><br>Within&nbsp;<strong>H<\/strong>ygiene Factors hand hygiene is critical. Worryingly, Initial Washroom Hygiene recently found just&nbsp;two thirds of Brits said they always wash their hands after visiting a public washroom, compared to 74% in 2018. The same survey also found that washroom users would be more inclined to sanitise their hands if dispensers were no touch. Businesses should provide clean and well stocked washrooms, with access to good quality soap, a hygienic hand drying option as well as hand sanitiser.<br><br><strong>A<\/strong>tmosphere is all about the consideration of the indoor air quality in a business premises. One way&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/commentaries\/detail\/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations\">Coronavirus spreads is via air transmission<\/a>. An experiment in a South Korean restaurant found that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/food\/2020\/12\/11\/korean-restaurant-coronavirus-airflow-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coronavirus could spread within a couple of minutes<\/a>&nbsp;if there\u2019s an infected person just 15 feet away. If you can\u2019t provide adequate ventilation and a good supply of fresh air into your premises then you should be thinking about the installation of air purification units. We distribute technology called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/specialist-disinfection\/air-purifier\/\">VIRUSKILLER\u2122<\/a>, which has been proven to kill 99.9999% of viruses including Coronavirus within a single air pass*. It comes in a variety of different sizes, to suit a range of spaces.<br><br>Next is&nbsp;<strong>T<\/strong>ouchpoints, which looks at all those shared areas or touchpoints which can contribute to cross contamination. We survey the premises to ensure the right professional disinfection regime is in place and that hand sanitiser is made readily available near high frequency shared touchpoints such as the entrance door handle.<br><br>Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/specialist-disinfection\/\">specialist disinfection services<\/a>&nbsp;can also help you maintain the highest levels of hygiene, and help to reduce cross contamination risks and the transmission of viruses such as Coronavirus. Our team uses a range of innovative disinfection methods to suit each part of your premises, including electrostatic disinfection, which involves adding an electric charge to the disinfectant as it is sprayed, causing it to be drawn to surfaces and objects like a magnet. Ultraviolet-C (UVC) lamps, that produce a UVC light that deactivates virus\u2019 reproductive processes so that it can no longer spread, are also used to treat touchpoints with sensitive equipment, such as cash registers, computers and other electronics.<br><br>Lastly,&nbsp;<strong>S<\/strong>ocial Distancing cannot yet be forgotten. Though it\u2019s no longer mandated, and masks are discretionary, it makes good business sense to make customers and employers feel safe \u2013 and if any future government guidelines come into effect reinstating mandatory social distancing practices that your business can quickly, and effectively implement them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A compliance check up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re following a HATS process and working to ensure a hygiene-first approach to operations, then we also suggest checking if your kitchen is compliant with the latest health and safety regulations.<br><br>Did you know that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.fire-uk.org\/business-safety-advice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">70% of fires in commercial kitchens originate in faulty extract ventilation systems<\/a>&nbsp;due to the build-up of grease? If a fire does break out it can quickly spread via the kitchen ventilation system, causing damage throughout the entire building. For this reason, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebesa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Building Engineering Services Association (BESA)<\/a>&nbsp;introduced the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.fire-uk.org\/safer-kitchen-ventilation#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TR19 guidelines<\/a>&nbsp;to standardise duct, kitchen extract, and air handling cleaning in the UK.<br><br>Compliance with TR19 includes providing adequate access to ductwork, inspection mechanisms, and that post-cleaning verification methods are met. A TR19 compliance report is complex, including clear statements that indicate how the system has been cleaned in its entirety, a recommendation on cleaning frequency, and even a schematic diagram or as-installed drawing of the system.<br><br>Rentokil Specialist Hygiene offers a TR19 compliant kitchen ventilation deep cleaning; including a full compliance report from BESA accredited and trained grease hygiene technicians. Rentokil Specialist Hygiene is also a BESA member, meaning we are kept constantly up-to-date with any changes to the criteria. To ensure compliance and mitigate risk, call in the professionals for effective and safe kitchen ventilation cleaning.<br><br>Many areas in the kitchen are particularly hard to clean, presenting unique challenges and safety risks, especially in areas that are high up. We have the equipment and expertise to clean ceilings, lights, ducts and other spaces that a daily cleaning routine can\u2019t manage. Our specialist technicians work to stringent health and safety standards and complete a thorough risk assessment before undertaking any cleaning operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/specialist-cleaning\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Festive-Dining-min-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Festive-Dining-min-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Festive-Dining-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Festive-Dining-min-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Festive-Dining-min-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rentokil-hygiene.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Festive-Dining-min-2048x1368.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The festive season is approaching, and there are lots of opportunities for hospitality businesses to grow.
