New Guidelines for Cleaning Your Office
Updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting say high-touch surfaces should be cleaned at least once daily and the most reliable way to prevent infection transmission from surfaces is to regularly wash hands or use hand sanitizer.
Employees are asked to:
- Continue to wipe and sanitize high-frequency touchpoints and shared equipment in personal offices, office suites and departmentally controlled spaces at least once a day. Departments can continue to procure wipes and hand sanitizer pump dispensers through Chem Stores.
- Continue to take your own trash and recycling from individual offices and office suites to the designated area in your building. Please close your bags securely.
- Research lab trash should be taken directly to the building’s dumpster by research lab personnel.
Custodial staff will continue to concentrate their efforts on cleaning and sanitizing public spaces including high-frequency touchpoints, and will provide hand sanitizer in entries and hallways. Custodians will visit offices on an every-other-week schedule for vacuuming and maintenance checks.
We appreciate your help keeping campus clean and safe.
