Is Your Office Safe for Reopening?

Facility management is at the core of any organisation that ensures the employees and customers’ safety. Facility management is equipped with highly trained facility staff combined with high-end technology that ensures smooth operations for organisations. The solid team of staff and technology prevents hazards, maintains hygiene and performs many more services as they are updated about the condition of each space. This makes the employees and customers feel secure, consequently enhancing in-house productivity or external footfalls. Here are some ways facility management ensures public safety in any workplace.

1. Placing signages at required places

Suppose the portion of your mall, hospital or workplace is under construction, slippery or has no lights, and your employees or customers enter that area, unaware of its condition. The chances are high that they might hurt themselves by tripping or scraping against some sharp construction objects. With the help of facility management, organisations can place signages in such areas to convey to everyone about the potential hazards, which prevents such hazardous accidents.

2. Disinfecting public touchpoints

Due to the ease of the COVID-19 pandemic rules, many offices have started re-opening. This has enhanced the use of public touchpoints such as lift buttons, working tables, and escalator handrails, increasing the risk of spreading the virus even now. With facility management at the workplace, organisations can ensure periodic disinfection of all public touchpoints. They can schedule a disinfection process when the workspace is empty in order to minimise the chaos and maximise the effectiveness.

3. Maintaining distance in seating arrangements

Physical distance is crucial to avoid the spread of any virus. Ever since the pandemic, public places and organisations have adhered to this rule. With the help of facility management, the organisation can make the seating arrangement at the workplace in such a way that the distance between colleagues is maintained. Even places like malls and hospitals can either put stickers or signs on the tables and other places, so that visitors know which space is not meant for use.

4. Incorporating sensors at the workplace

A workplace without technology will always be a step backwards in progress. Facility management provides not only highly trained staff but also advanced technology to ensure the effective functioning of the organisation. Facility management incorporates advanced sensors at workplaces, which give them an eagle view of all systems. Additionally, these sensors update them about technical systems such as HVAC, lifts, lightings, and others, so any issues are fixed on the spot, even if it is minor. This keeps the employees and customers safe and also saves the organisation’s money in the long run.

There is no room for errors when every corner of the workplace is under observation. Facility management has an eagle view of internal and external operations, which allows them to fix things on time and prevent the slightest inconvenience.
