Dwell Time Practices
Servi-Tek has begun utilizing Dwell Time practices, a key component in BSL-3 cleaning protocol, at all of our client sites. Dwell Time routines leave our antibacterial product on surfaces without removal to combat the spread of germs.
Our Dwell Time routines include:
- Night service cleans door knobs and door handles
- Day porters cleans elevators, restroom doors and restroom fixtures
- Dwell Time practices create a wet barrier, allowing surfaces to dry naturally.
- Dwell Time strategies do leave tiny spots on surfaces.
- If any client prefers to use conventional cleaning methods, Servi-Tek will not follow BSL guidelines, cleaning instead for appearance, not infection
INSTALLATION OF UV LIGHT FIXTURES
As the infection is airborne, Servi-Tek’s Engineering team is recommending the installation of UV light fixtures in all air handlers, fan rooms and mixed air plenum spaces.
This is a relatively low-cost solution compared to continuous filter changing and will also be effective against most airborne spores, including mold… a common practice in the healthcare and life sciences industry for over a decade.

POST COVID-19 UPDATE!
As commercial property and facility managers return to normalcy, significant time and resources are consumed with precautions and considerations needed for maintaining a smoothly running commercial facility and keeping clients, tenants, and coworkers safe.
All in the same boat
We’re consistently monitoring the guidance from local and international health organizations, and taking precautions to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.
Let’s take a look at what’s happening in the commercial property world as we continue to battle Covid-19. Sharing solutions and guiding each other is the best way to work together in these unprecedented times. Here at ServiTek, it’s our hope that this newsletter is helpful to you all as we continue to learn more about what’s happening in the current challenging climate.
BEST PRACTICES FOR THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Perhaps you read about the IREM Orange County’s meeting to discuss the importance of janitorial services, visibility, signage, and the safe reopening of commercial property? If not, you can catch the information here.
To summarize, prudent actions for commercial property and facility managers may include:
- Per CDC recommendations, increased cleaning schedules and use of effective cleaning products that destroy the virus.
- Enhanced cleaning of frequently touched areas, such as elevator buttons, door handles, and handrails.
- Installing dispensers for soap and hand sanitizer that encourage hand hygiene.
- Rearranging the layout of workspaces to facilitate social distancing so that coworkers can remain further apart.
- Placing notices, posters, and stickers to encourage appropriate coughing etiquette, hand hygiene, and maintaining ongoing communication with staff.
- Conducting risk assessments and considering supply chain interruption.
- Regulations regarding that staff are promptly notified of symptomatic employees.
- Considering safety protocols for large, public events held on the property.
The guidance
Of course, almost all commercial buildings are workplaces, so
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) is a great resource to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
Thankfully, the OSHA website has lots of information, such as guidance on safe return to work, worker exposure risk, guidance on preparing workplaces, and more.
