U.S. Statistics
• Respiratory Illness– Each year, 1 in 5 adults have the flu
– ≈ 250,000 hospitalizations
– 3,000 - 50,000 deaths; severity dependent
– Each adult has about 2 colds per year
• Gastrointestinal illness– Each year, 1 in 3 adults have a foodborne illness
– ≈ 325,000 hospitalizations
– 5,000 deaths

Effects of Influenza on the Workplace
• Lost Productivity – 17 million workdays are lost
due to Influenza – Estimated loss of ~$6.2 billion
• Cost to Employers – $10.4 billion in direct costs
for employee hospitalizations and outpatient visits

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends
that adults, depending on their risks, be routinely immunized
against 14 disease

Vaccine Recommendation
Influenza All adults every year
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis All adults for booster shots for tetanus and
diphtheria every 10 years
Hepatitis A Recommended for travel in areas where
food may be contaminated
Meningococcal disease Recommended for young adults living in
group settings, eg. dormitories
Break the Cycle of Disease Transmission
19
Sick
Sneeze
AirborneSurfaces
Hands
Helpful Tip:
Break the cycle at multiple points
for maximum effectiveness!
Spread of Germs
– Infectious virus is airborne from
person
– Airborne virus deposits on
surfaces
– Virus survival on the surface for
8+ hours
– Virus transmits from surface to
person
– More people are exposed
Break the Cycle: Work Rules
• Don’t force or encourage workers to work when
they are ill
• False economy!
• Proper “sick days” policy
• Proper supervision
21
Break the Cycle: Hand Hygiene
• Hands are the most important “vector” of
disease transmission
• Encourage frequent, proper hand washing
• Enable proper use of hand sanitizer
22
Break the Cycle: Hand Hygiene
Frequent, proper hand washing
Frequent– After using the restroom
– Before meals
– Between meetings w/ clients
– Whenever hands become soiled
Proper– Use soap and warm water
– Lather for 10-20 seconds
– Rinse thoroughly
– Dry with single-use towel or air dryer 23
Appropriate Use of Hand Sanitizer
• NOT a substitute for hand washing
• NOT for “dirty” hands
• NOT to use when hand washing is possible
• Proper use
– Apply thoroughly to clean hands
– Allow to air dry
24
Helpful Tip:
Use hand sanitizer to supplement
proper hand washing
Break the Cycle: Cleaning for Health
• P&G Professional’s comprehensive sanitation programs are designed
to help prevent the general transmission of viruses and other
pathogens that cause illness
• We recommend cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with P&G
Professional, EPA-registered hospital detergent/disinfectants, paying
particular attention to those that are highly touched areas (HTO).
25
Helpful Tip:
The more times someone touches a
contaminated surface and then touches areas
on their face (eyes, nose or mouth), the
greater the chance for transmission of human
microbial pathogens.Source: CDC
Cleaning Performance Matters
• Choose effective cleaning products
• Soil removal is critical to hygiene
• Residual soil can shelter organisms
26
Insight
Effective cleaning eliminates the
soil that harbors germs and
thereby reduces germ re-growth
Helpful Tip
For the best value, chose
products that both clean and
disinfect in a single step
EPA-Registered Disinfectant
• Use EPA-registered disinfecting products according to
label instructions
• U.S. EPA regulates disinfecting and sanitizing products
• Look for EPA registration number on the front of the label
• Follow label instructions
• Kill time claims
27
Sanitation and Hygiene
Performance Factors
• Soil
• Surface
• Chemical action
• Mechanical action
• Temperature
• Time
• Water quality
• Person
29
Helpful Tip:
Labor costs is 50-90 percent of
overall cleaning costs
Pinpoint the Barriers
• Self-reported, Perceived and Observed:– Expectation not clear
– Do not know how and why
– Too busy/insufficient time
– Disagreement with recommendations
– Lack of institutional safety
– Lack of institutional priority
– Lack of role models
30
Helpful Tip:
Set employees up for success:
create habits that enable them
to do the right thing
Survey Findings
Biggest barrier keeping employees
from performing their best:
Effective Training
31Source:
Conducted December 2009
Improve Employee Compliance
• The following are known to increase compliance– Engineering controls
• Design of equipment and facilities
• Procedures, products, tools
– Education (How and Why)
– Monitoring and Feedback
– Reminders in the workplace
– Administrative sanctioning/rewarding
– Enhance individual and institutional level self evaluation
– Improve institutional safety climate
– Improve work place safety climate
– Avoid understaffing and excessive workload
– Combine several of the above
32Source: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report; CDC, Oct 25, 2002, Vol. 51, N. PR-16
Engineering Controls
Equipment and Facility Design
• Purchase Cleanable Equipment/Materials– Easy to clean
– Corrosion resistant
– Durable to cleaning processes
– Smooth surfaces
– Movable
– Don’t always rely on equipment certification stamps
• Cleanability criteria in purchasing considerations
• Design and maintenance of facilities– Similar cleanability criteria as above
– Convenient locations
• Sanitation, equipment and facility design vendors can help
33
Engineering Controls
Cleaning and Sanitation Procedures
• Evaluate cleaning needs and create necessary cleaning
procedures that work
• Master Cleaning Schedule– Task, frequency, ownership, procedure
• Validation and Criteria– Performance
– Cost (labor, chemicals, tools, etc)
– Worker safety, etc.
• Consider conducting time in motion studies
• Periodically reevaluate because things change!!
34
Helpful Tip:
Standardized products and
procedures reduce confusion.
Engineering Controls
Cleaning and Sanitation Tools
• Identify sanitation tools that improve performance and
efficiency– Towels
– Scouring pads
– Brushes
– Mops
– Scrapers
– Squeegees
• Tools should not damage/scratch surfaces
• Tools can be sources of cross contamination– Manage tools properly
– Proper sanitation procedures of tools after use
35
Engineering Controls
Cleaning and Sanitation Compounds
• Not all cleaners are the same– Many cleaners are not sanitizers or disinfectants
• Can compensate for poor cleaning practices
• Multipurpose and work across a broad class of
soils and task areas
• Balance performance with worker safety

Education and Training
Learning Styles
• Reading/writing learner
• Auditory learner
• Visual learner
• Kinesthetic learner
38
Helpful Tip:
Develop training programs that
incorporate all learning styles

Cleaning and Sanitation Education
• Public Health Education and Compliance:– Positive correlation between training and improved compliance
• Teach why, how, and when
• Settings for training:– Classroom
– Computer based
– Store level
– Interactive/demonstrations
• Other effective training tools:– Storyboards, causing and effect posters, testimonials,
demonstrations, activities, games, videos, etc.
Education
Education Strategies
• How/Why:– Procedural training
– Technique based training
– Hands-on, activity based
– Demonstrate the wrong and correct ways
• Technique based training, concepts– Surface Disinfection – Scraping
– Hand washing – Wiping
– Hand Sanitizing – Rinsing
– Scouring
40
Helpful Tip:
Use training materials in native
language of workers to optimize
effectiveness
Education
41
Education Strategies (continued)
• Active participation of managers and employees is critical
• Continual and refresher training is important
Education and Training
Sanitation Measures for Training
• Sensory – clean to sight and touch
• Other effective measures that go
beyond site and touch– ATP bioluminescence test
• Importance of process or compound– Sanitizer concentration testing to
ensure proper strength
• Other residue tests
43
Monitoring and Feedback
Task Analysis
• Continual education and reminders important to
maintain and improve behaviors
44Source:
Haring, T. et al. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis 1988, 21, 207-215
Monitoring and Feedback
45
• Monitoring provides opportunities for improvement
and feedback/education– Employee Knowledge Check
– Observation of Knowledge
• Managers AND other employees providing
feedback must be highly skilled
• Develop very short demonstrations
