SuomiAs the autumn season approaches, many workplaces brace for the inevitable rise in sick leaves due to the flu, colds, and other common pathogens. These infections often spread through shared surfaces, significantly impacting productivity and increasing absenteeism. At ISKU, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy workforce and are committed to providing solutions that support this goal. Our Isku+ furniture is designed to fight infections, significantly reducing the spread of these pathogens through the use of antimicrobial materials.
Antimicrobial materials for infection prevention
Isku+ furniture incorporates advanced antimicrobial technologies, such as copper and silver, known for their long-lasting effects. These materials remain effective for up to 25 years, providing a robust defense against the flu, colds, and other workplace pathogens. By choosing Isku+ furniture, companies can significantly reduce the transmission of infections, leading to a healthier work environment.
Health and financial benefits
Implementing Isku+ furniture can lead to a potential reduction of short-term sick leave by up to 50%. This not only enhances employee well-being but also offers substantial cost-saving benefits for employers. By alleviating the financial impact of sick leaves, Isku+ helps businesses maintain a more productive workforce during the autumn months.
Long-term investment in employee health
Choosing Isku+ is a long-term investment in the health and well-being of employees. This decision reflects a company’s care for its workforce, ensuring a safer and more productive work environment. By prioritizing infection prevention, businesses demonstrate their commitment to employee health and operational efficiency.
Scientific validation and ongoing research
Isku+ products have been validated through multiple studies and research, including tests following the ISO 22196:2011 standard and research using methods like fluorescence microscopy on silver-containing surfaces. Ongoing research since 2013 continues to support the efficacy of Isku+ furniture in infection control, providing companies with scientifically backed solutions.
Practical guidance for maintaining hygiene
In addition to using antimicrobial furniture, maintaining hygiene through regular hand washing and proper cleaning of shared spaces is crucial. Isku+ furniture aids in infection control, complementing these practices and further minimizing the risk of infection. By integrating these strategies, companies can create a safer and healthier workplace.
Aesthetic and functional design
Isku+ furniture not only provides antimicrobial protection but also maintains the same tested designs and materials from Isku’s existing range. This ensures a balance between functionality, safety, and aesthetics, allowing businesses to create an environment that is both protective and visually appealing.
