Decontamination & Infection Control

Maintaining a safe working environment for employees, visitors and members of the public now involves the decontamination of workplaces from viral and bacterial infection on an ongoing basis. Combatting the spread of infections is critical in maintaining normal operations, but this is a long term commitment. Only through adopting the kind of two-step approach used by First Response Group can you ensure that clinical standards have been met and will continue to be met on a day-to-day basis.

The first step is touch point surface sanitisation. This involves a specialist cleaning company carrying out a full risk assessment of the workplace and identifying key locations that are unique to your workplace, and where there is a high risk of transmitting viruses. These touch points are the likely source of a virus or bacteria being left and therefore picked up, potentially causing a rapid infection amongst the workplace. A specialist company offering decontamination solutions can identify these locations and then treat them routinely using the correct materials to ensure clinically sterile conditions and not simply ‘a good clean’.

We identify areas such as switches, work surfaces, knobs & handles, keyboards, furniture, shared welfare facilities, vending machines, drinks fountains and handrails. These are all common areas which we can thoroughly clean, as well as spraying all hard floors and surfaces. These sanitisation processes are non-corrosive, leave no residue and offer long-lasting protection. We can agree with you a cleaning regime which causes minimal disruption to your daily operations and establish a frequency of cleaning appropriate to the levels of usage and the operations of your business.

First Response Group will leave you with a safe and sterile working environment and will remove all PPE, cleaning equipment and substances and any potentially infected materials off-site, leaving you with a sterile, decontaminated environment every time.

Get in touch today and we can work with you to ensure your workplace is fully decontaminated today and every day.

The main objective for businesses, and in particular for facilities management, is to create a safe working environment that is decontaminated against viral infections and bacteria on an ongoing basis. This involves establishing a programme which achieves decontamination and maintains those standards day-to-day.

First Response Group has designed a two-stage process aimed at comprehensive workplace decontamination and then routine clinical cleaning to maintain those standards. These processes are touch-point cleaning and electrostatic fogging.

Fogging offers fast and comprehensive decontamination of large areas, and is the swiftest and most effective means of creating a safe and sterile environment. Fogging involves the releasing of an airborne mist via electrical charge, this then provides a 360 degree decontamination of all contagions removed from the air and from flat surfaces. This is the most effective method for treating hard-to-reach areas which otherwise may not be reached by standard cleaning regimes.

Electrostatic fogging is non-corrosive, leaves no residue and causes minimal disruption to your daily operations. In normal circumstances, employees are able to re-enter a decontaminated area after one hour. First Response Group have adapted this technique to various different industry sectors including healthcare, education, offices and retail. And we have designed our techniques to ensure that fogging is the perfect basis for a decontamination routine, to be followed by regular touch point cleaning.

If you contact us today we can carry out a risk assessment of your workplace and operations and design a fogging regime that will provide a comprehensive decontamination and the basis for partnering this with touch point cleaning to ensure standards are maintained going forward. We also recommend a repeat fogging procedure on a routine basis.

We can work with you to achieve a safe working environment free from viral infections and bacteria and we can design a programme to repeat these processes on an ongoing basis.
