Microbiologicalexperts have issued an alert to UK businesses as the world waits on thebrink of a Swine Flu pandemic. The four point plan aims to clarify theapproach and procedures that should be adopted in work environmentsshould a pandemic situation arise.

The Byotrol Flu Policy andContingency Plan for Businesses – PLAN B - was issued online today atwww.byotrol.co.uk, offering straight forward advice on planning inadvance of a pandemic situation looking at working practices, infectioncontrol and the importance of personal hygiene.

The four points include:
1.    Planning for a pandemic
2.    Working practices and ‘social distancing’
3.    Infection control
4.    Business travel

Commentingon the creation of PLAN B, Stephen Falder, inventor of Byotrolcomments: “As a contagious disease, Swine Flu is easily contractedthrough high-contact areas or via human contact, which means officesare a prime target for infection.

However, employers cansafeguard their business against this threat through planning andprotection including increased hygiene. Unlike most antimicrobial solutions which stop working when dry and are toxic, Byotrol is gentle and long-lasting which can help in the prevention and control of SwineFlu, which is why we want to use our expertise to help offices andemployees around the country.”

About Byotrol, the Hygiene Revolution:

  • Byotrol is a revolutionary hygiene technology developed by a Britishbased company Byotrol plc. Byotrol plc is listed on the London StockExchange’s Alternative Investment Market.
  • Independentlytested for 7 years and proven in hospitals and food factories Byotrolcan facilitate major new claims in cleaning and personal care products
  • Byotrol delivers broad spectrum, long-lasting antimicrobial performance in a much safer and more caring way than previouslybelieved possible:

 

  • Groundbreaking technology: Byotrol’sResidual Antimicrobial technology is not a disinfectant and does notfunction like a traditional (ie, chemical) microbiocide – rather, itssecret lies in the unlikely combination of non-toxic compounds whichcreates a surface tension that kills microbes on impact
  • Residual: Traditional cleaners only work for a few moments after theyhave been applied – by contrast, Byotrol is residual; it keeps workingdays and weeks after it has been applied
  • Safer: It is not flammable, corrosive or poisonous – it causes absolutely no harm to humans, animals or plants 
  • Cleaner and easier: Byotrol completely eradicates the need for anyother cleaning products on site – eg, in food production, itencompasses all aspects of high volume production methods from foodworkers’ hands to floors and complex machinery, thereby improvingHealth and Safety standards and minimising risks across the board
