With the help of an info graphic, here are some quite surprising stats on desk hygiene. Here is a small summary of the points covered…
- Unhygienic working conditions are a ‘key contributor’ to millions of working days lost to sickness each year
- More than 10 million bacteria lurk on the average office desk with 7,500 organisms hidden in your keyboard
- 2/3 office workers work at their desk
- 1/5 office workers don’t clean their desk before eating
We've all been guilty of grabbing some lunch at our desk, but not many of us are aware of the bacteria we are harbouring by doing so.
