Poor Sanitation and your Overall Health?

Sanitation is the act of performing various measures to provide a clean, healthy environment. These measures are not just for home use, as they also are important for a workplace setting. When sanitation is inadequate, germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi and other disease causers can accumulate on surfaces. People who come in contact with them can then become ill.

Some Illnesses and Health Issues That Poor Sanitation Can Cause in Humans

1. Influenza

Influenza is a virus that causes chills, fever, sore throat, sneezing, coughing, headaches, muscle pain, and extreme fatigue. The young and elderly are at high risk for complications from influenza, which can include pneumonia. Flu is another name for influenza. While doctors recommend the flu vaccine to reduce the severity of influenza, you can prevent catching it in the first place by simply washing your hands and sanitizing surfaces in the proper manner.

2. MRSA and Staphylococcus Aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is just one member of the Staphylococcus or staph family of bacteria. This version of staph causes various issues such as skin infections, blood poisoning, food poisoning, and pneumonia. Skin infections typically happen more than the other issues, and can turn into cellulitis or impetigo. The staph bacteria commonly occur in the body and therefore, show up on many surfaces in the hospitals, fitness centers and schools on top of at home and in the workplace. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA is a more serious issue that occurs, as it caused by a form of staph that is antibiotic resistant, which makes it more difficult to treat. Personal contact with an individual suffering from an infection caused from staph is one way of spreading the issue. However, if you come in contact with surfaces that contain the staph bacteria through an open scratch or cut, an infection can occur. Proper sanitation procedures prevent unnecessary contact with the Staphylococcus bacteria.

3. Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis causes inflammation and irritations of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of this condition include nausea, diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain and vomiting. Bacteria and viruses are the most common cause of this condition. This condition is contagious and is spread by consuming contaminated water or food. Many times, people catch this condition from others through improperly cleansing their hands after handling soiled diapers, having bowel movements, or other contact with fecal matter. An outbreak of this issue typically only lasts for about two days, but in case of a bacterial cause, it could go on for a number of months.

Improve Sanitation with Automatic Sanitary Bins

Sanitation is not an easy thing to maintain, this is especially true in public places such as shopping malls, restaurants and in work places where things can get somewhat muddled and messy. When washrooms experience a high volume of traffic, along with the inevitable rush that cause people to become clumsy or careless with their sanitary waste, this cannot be easily avoided.
 
One of the best ways to maintain workplace sanitation is to set proper guidelines for sanitary disposal. Yet, this is not the end-all of sanitary management, especially since sanitation doesn’t end in sanitary disposal. One of the problem areas with regards to most office or workplace sanitary management solutions is in the ‘primitiveness’ of sanitary equipment. Most people are actually unaware that even a harmless sanitary bin can be a hotbed of microbes and pathogens that can help spread disease. Thankfully, there are new and better innovations in the light of high-tech sanitary management and disposal equipment such as automatic sanitary bins, anti-bacterial wipes and soap dispensers, to mention a few.
 

Automatic Sanitary Bins – The Future of Sanitary Management and Disposal

Automatic Sanitary Bins are certainly a thing of the future. Not only is it a never-before-seen innovation that can be credited to the ever-expanding influence of technology in our daily lives, but it also stands as a testament to the innovation of modern minds and the effective use of technology. Truly, automatic sanitary bins revolutionise sanitary disposal. How do automatic bins do that? Automatic sanitary bins allow individuals to maintain proper hygiene all the while serving the purpose of a traditional sanitary bin.
 
Automated sanitary bins function with a ‘no-touch’ system – one that allows a person to place their sanitary waste into it without having to touch the bin itself. Automated sanitary bins thus prove indispensable for nearly all industries that require a fast, efficient, reliable, and utterly flawless way of disposing of their sanitary waste.
 

Top 5 Features in Automatic Sanitary Bins

• Bin Functionality – Does the unit really work the way that its supposed to? The unit should not require you to actually touch it, and the unit should open when necessary and never any other time.
• Bin Lifespan – How long does the unit work until it stops opening? The unit should continue to work between service intervals. The unit can be serviced or picked up and replaced with a new unit.
• Bin Design – Is the bin designed to fit comfortable in the Cubicle/Washroom and doesn’t get in the way? The unit should be designed to provide the user with easy access.
• Ease of Use – Does the bin have adequate instruction for its use? The unit should include instructions on how to operate it, so that the user shouldn’t struggle to use it.
• Bin Capacity – Can the unit hold everything it needs to hold between services? The unit should be able to hold all its contents and not overflow prior to the next service

Fly Control for Restaurants

Have you ever walked into a restaurant fully expecting to enjoy a warm meal only to have your hopes dashed when a fly lands on your class or plate of food? Yes, flies are an annoyance, but they also pose a very real health risk restaurant owners should be very concerned about. While in nature, flies help to facilitate the onset of decay as well as the occasional distribution of pollen and essential microbes that help in the thin ecological balance of any environment, in the big city, they are carriers of disease and illness.

This is a state far outside its natural role, since flies are in and of themselves not always carriers of disease, thanks to human pollution they can and do carry pathogens that can potentially infect an individual. For most fast food establishments, even the presence of just a single fly can prove to be highly detrimental to the business. Why is that? Presence of flies inoculates doubt with regards to the sanitary nature of your place of business.

One of the most common ways to get rid of flies is often to swat them away or flick them away, but these are often difficult, bothersome, or ineffective (not to mention gross in restaurant settings!). Another way to go about getting rid of flies is to use insecticides or insect repellants. While these may prove to be highly effective in killing flies, this isn’t always a good thing when employed in restaurant settings, specifically because most insecticides are not only lethal for flies, but also for humans.

Also, there is the issue of flies eventually developing a certain degree of tolerance or resistance from insecticides, which often comes about when they are exposed to it indirectly, as is often the case with quick-fix spray insecticides. Flies that develop resistance to bug spray often become far more difficult to exterminate. Most organic or natural-based pesticides can work, but they’re not as effective in the ‘instant-kill’-area, and may sometimes require several applications in order to work.

If you’re looking for an efficient way to get rid of flies, Vedder cleaning services has the solutions for your fly problems! Vedder, with their new Fly Control System, provides a reliable, dependable, and 100% safe way to get rid of flies ‘instantly’ without the dangers that most typical pesticides pose. Vedder’s Fly Control System automatically kills flies thanks to a steady, timed ejection of pyrethrum – a natural 100% non-toxic (to humans and pets) insecticide that is instantly lethal to flies.

Derived from the daisy family, it is strong enough to kill flies and most other pests, but gentle enough to be non-toxic to pets, people, plants, and other living things. Whereas some flies develop a certain degree of resistance to common insecticides, they do not develop a tolerance to pyrethrum, thus increasing its overall efficacy.

If you’re looking for the best way to manage and control flies that may drag your business down, choose wisely, choose safely, and choose Vedder Fly Control! For more information, please visit: www.vedder.com.au

 

What is a Sanitary Waste Disposal Service?
