2022 sees many of us back to ‘Working From Home’ again in a bid to slow down the spread of the Omicron variant.
Whilst the Government’s WFH guidance has been challenging for many businesses who have needed to completely re-think the way they can operate successfully with a remote workforce, it has also presented new opportunities which many savvy business-owners have taken advantage of.
One such opportunity that has presented itself is the benefit that having a temporarily empty office can bring for getting those much-needed maintenance jobs done.
There are obvious challenges to replacing flooring in the workplace whilst staff are working, and quite often, flooring maintenance work is put on the back-burner because of the inconvenience of having to work around it.
So if you were considering replacing your flooring before the Pandemic, then now is the perfect time to get that job done and off your to-do list.
Signs that your office flooring may need repair or replacement
HSE (the Health and Safety Executive) offers guidance and information on health and safety in the workplace.
With regard to flooring, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 stipulates that the floor in a workplace must be suitable for the type of work activity taking place on it.
If you are worried about your flooring, check for any potential risks and check that different environments in your workplace have the appropriate flooring (for example a kitchen and restroom area will require a non-slip floor).
These issues below can cause trip hazards and should be repaired or replaced as a matter of urgency:
- Worn underlay can make the floor uneven
- Cracked or broken ceramic floor tiles
- Frayed carpets
- •Splits in vinyl flooring
- Water damage on laminate flooring
- Loose carpet tiles
