As the flu season approaches it is essential to protect employees as much as possible from contracting Swine flu or normal seasonal influenza. This can be done by raising their awareness of the symptoms of Swine flu and advising them on what they think they should do if they have it. Flu Control Posters - click here to shop
A flu control poster offers an easy way to do this. It can be displayed in staff rooms, canteens or waiting areas to provide a source of information that can be easily seen and understood. Our flu pandemic posters are made from durable PVC, which means they will last well and can be easily cleaned. They contain information on the signs and symptoms of flu, how it spreads, how it can be avoided and how individuals and companies can take action.
Other essential workplace safety signs to help reduce the likelihood of a potential outbreak include signage that remind employees to wash their hands, prevent the spread of germs and dispose of tissues correctly. These come in a range of sizes and should be positioned in washrooms, rest areas, canteens and near bins.

These signs will help remind employees and visitors to take simple actions to avoid spreading the virus to others through good hygiene habits. The more signs you display the more easily staff will remember to follow the instructions.
The virus can survive on a hard surface such as a phone, desk or rail for up to 24 hours, so keeping surfaces scrupulously clean will also help with reducing the spread to others.
Other Ways to Protect Your Business Against Swine Flu

The most significant symptoms of Swine Flu are those of fever, coughing and a shortness of breath, which tend to come on quite quickly.
Other symptoms include headaches, tiredness, chills, muscular aches, sore throats, running nose, sneezing and loss of appetite.
The incubation period ranges from 1 to 4 days, averaging at 2/3 and the infectious period can last up to 7 days especially in children.
