COVID-19 Sanitizing & Disinfecting

At ESP, the safety of our team members, our clients, and the public is always our primary focus. In regards to COVID-19, ESP remains alert in monitoring the most up-to-date safety, infection control and cleaning protocols recommended by global experts, including the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the WHO (World Health Organization), OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency), State and Local Agencies.

SITE RISK ASSESSMENT – BUILDING COMMON AREA(S) OR INDIVIDUAL SUITE(S)

  • Collect and review information about the hazards present or likely to be present in the workplace.

  • Conduct initial and periodic workplace inspections of the workplace to identify new or recurring hazards. (Touch Points)

  • Group similar incidents and identify trends in injuries, illnesses, and hazards reported. (Immediately report if someone is COVID19 positive)

  • Consider hazards associated with emergency or non-routine situations. (Plan to properly clean/disinfect if someone is COVID19 positive)

  • Determine the severity and likelihood of incidents that could result for each hazard identified, and use this information to prioritize corrective actions. (Plan to keep area clean/disinfected as much as possible)

  • Strongly suggest adding additional staff to continually disinfect high traffic touch points (elevator buttons, door handles, restrooms, etc).

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION PROCEDURE

  • Routinely clean and disinfect all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, keyboards, telephones, handrails, and doorknobs.

    • If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.

    • For disinfection, most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective. A list of products that are EPA-approved for use against the virus that causes COVID-19 is available here. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g., concentration, application method and contact time, etc.).

  • Discourage workers from using other workers' phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible. If necessary, clean and disinfect them before and after use.

  • Provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks, other work tools and equipment) can be wiped down by employees before each use. To disinfect, use products that meet EPA's criteria for use against SARS-Cov-2, the cause of COVID-19, and are appropriate for the surface.

If someone is COVID-19 Positive - CDC recommends that:

  • Areas used by ill persons be closed off, doors and windows be opened and, if possible, cleaning and disinfection not occur for up to 24 hours.

  • Cleaning staff clean and disinfect all areas (e.g., offices, bathrooms, and common areas) used by the ill persons, focusing especially on frequently touched surfaces.
