Are Office Telephones A Health Hazard?

Office Telephones, A Health Hazard?

Office telephones – such a basic thing that is there when it is needed but no one really gives it any particular attention. It is just the good old telephone, right? What if we tell you that your office phone may not be as innocent as you think? Let us how dangerous that simple office item really is.

According to research by independent agencies, we can see that the average office telephone packs in almost twenty-five thousand germs per square inch. Now consider the size of that phone right beside you. A revelation, right? That unassuming phone is the breeding ground of hundreds and thousands of germs and harmful bacteria.

The importance of regular office cleaning

First, let us accept the truth. It is impossible to get rid of every germ on every phone that you have in the office, every minute of the day, but there are things we can do to get the numbers down. Germs cause illness and disease, and what we learned from COVID is that such illness spreads. Thus, every business, office, and commercial facility needs to make deep cleaning the top of their priority. They can even go for electrostatic disinfection for the whole office.

This is what our co-founder Joel Duelley has got to say – “Telephone is one office equipment that is most used, and you cannot check everyone who is using them. You do not know if they are sick or not and what germ stays on the phone from their breath. Within minutes the germs will start building around the mouthpiece and within a day, there is a chance of your entire team getting infected. That is why daily office cleaning by professionals should be a priority”

If you do not want to get professional cleaners like TechniClean under contract, you can also ensure the employees carry disinfecting wipes and use them to clean the mouthpiece after every call. But we all know that is not going to happen.
