Ensuring a Secure Environment at the Workplace
Article:
In light of the World Health Organization's (WHO) guidance, businesses are prioritizing workplace safety to combat the persistent threat of Covid-19. Isolfin, a recognized leader in the petrochemical services, shipbuilding, refining, and energy sectors, offers professional sanitization and disinfection services to help businesses resume operations safely.
A growing number of big corporations, such as Enipower, Saras, and Poste Italiane, have integrated Isolfin's services for daily workplace disinfection, with operations ongoing until further notice. These measures involve over 150 professionals and extend to work vehicles, sanitized by Enel.
The sanitization of public transport vehicles requires specialized attention. Isolfin's approach involves treating each vehicle with professional equipment, emitting dry steam at 180 degrees and utilizing ozone, both effective in reducing viral loads.
New insights suggest that a solution with ethanol between 62% and 72%, combined with 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite, effectively inactivates the virus. Isolfin incorporates such recipes, developed using international research findings, to enhance the efficacy of its products.
While specific details about Isolfin and Enel's sanitization methods are not publicly disclosed, various effective strategies for reducing Covid-19 viral load on surfaces and vehicles include: autonomous disinfection robots, electrostatic disinfection, commercial disinfection services, and the use of EPA-registered disinfectants. Long-term solutions, such as antiviral surfaces, are also under development.
- Businesses prioritizing health and wellness in the workplace, such as Enipower, Saras, and Poste Italiane, have integrated Isolfin's professional sanitization and disinfection services, which include the use of dry steam and ozone, to help reduce viral loads on surfaces and vehicles.
- Beyond daily disinfection, the workplaces of tomorrow may also incorporate long-term solutions for preventing the spread of diseases, such as the development of antiviral surfaces, a potential integration of technology like autonomous disinfection robots, or the use of EPA-registered disinfectants.
