As employees return to the workplace in greater numbers this year and concerns about virus transmission and infection remain, businesses and facility managers will continue to focus on hygiene and social distancing practices and to improve protocols and standards for commercial cleaning and disinfecting in public and shared indoor work environments.

It’s the time of year when office holiday parties kick into high gear. The office party is a great way for employees to unwind and bond; for clients to be rewarded; and sometimes cut-a-rug with the bigwigs. No doubt almost everyone loves a party. But even small parties can bring big cleanups. ServiceMaster Clean is here to help you with that planning.  

Canada-wide, approximately 60,000 workers get injured annually due to falls.  More than 20% of all lost time injuries each year result from slips, trips and falls. Regulations for floor coverings and maintenance are ruled by the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and the Canada Labour Code.

A recent poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Global News shows that 74% of Canadian workers have returned to their pre-pandemic working conditions; 13% are working from home, 4% remain in a hybrid model working both from home and the office, and 57% are back at their place of work.

As much of Canada transitions to pre-pandemic work routines, there is a focus on creating and maintaining healthy air quality for employees and occupants in offices and other shared indoor work environments.
