Elevators
There are many areas within a building where social distancing is simply not possible, the most obvious of which is an elevator.
Elevators are a key
requirement rather than luxury in the majority of multi-storey buildings and
measures to make them as safe as possible within the current pandemic can
create long delays or lead to social distancing requirements being ignored
by frustrated individuals. Regular cleaning of all surfaces within an
elevator can reduce risks, however not only is this impractical throughout
the working day, it cannot prevent potentially airborne infection risks and
the chances of infectious microorganisms remaining in the elevator for
prolonged periods of time.
Viruses, bacteria, allergens and mould are constantly present in the air
around us, with the design of many buildings and air handling systems
increasing the chances of them being distributed across wide areas. A person
unknowingly harbouring an airborne infection can spread the associated risk
over a large area. Individuals who can be conscious of not coughing or
sneezing in more public areas may be much less concerned about the same
activities in "unseen areas" like an elevator which is another reason
controlling microorganisms here is an essential part of any company's
infection control strategy.
In offices the number of people using each elevator will increase
dramatically as staff members transition back from remote working, increased
guest numbers in hotels means more regular use of elevators and in every
internal environment the pressure is increasing to both maintain safe spaces
and demonstrate the same to users.
Daxairscience offer a wide range of products using AIRsteril technology
proven to kill bacteria and viruses both in the air and on surfaces. We even
have products suitable for elevators, these operate 24 hours a day
sanitizing both the air and surfaces within every elevator car to remove up
to 99.99% of microorganisms and create the safest possible space, many
customers choose to identify this extra step to users of the elevators and
this is an option within the product. From our work in many different
sectors we have realised that whilst the first priority is reducing the
risks to individuals as much as possible it can be equally important to
highlight that this technology is in operation in order to demonstrate the
steps you are taking and build confidence from users.
Put simply, if there were two elevators available to use and only one
featured technology proven to safely kill bacteria and viruses around the
clock, which one would you choose?
