HOW TO STAY HEALTHY

Avoiding Germs at Work

How to avoid the cold / flu that is going around your office and on the commute.

When you work in an office environment, there's a chance that you will pick up a bug or two throughout the year. Being in close proximity to so many people, it can be hard to avoid germs. Below are some simple steps you can take to help protect yourself and stop germs spreading.

• You should try to keep your office desk clean. It's a good idea to keep a box of disinfecting wipes on your desk, and wipe your desk and your equipment occasionally. Dettol Antibacterial wipes come in a handy pack which would fit nicely into your desk.
• It's also a good idea to keep a bottle of antibacterial hand cleaner on your desk, to use whenever you need to.
• Cover your mouth when coughing to play your part in stopping the spread of germs.
• Try to avoid touching your mouth, eyes or nose, as this is a common way that germs are spread.
• And finally... be prepared! When you are suffering with a cold or flu you are likely to have a range of symptoms, from a blocked nose to fever, or from a sore throat to a chesty cough. If you want something to treat all the major symptoms of cold and flu, Lemsip Max All in One Lemon sachets may be the remedy for you; a comforting hot drink that can start to get to work in just 5 minutes*, helping you to feel better and get on with your life.
