Leveraging UV Light for a Healthier and Safer Space

The dreadful multistate E. coli outbreak at Chipotle, which hospitalized 21 and prompted JP Morgan analysts to forecast the company will have lost three years of earnings between fiscal years 2014 and 2017, has underscored the extent to which all businesses—not just food service—are vulnerable to bacterium-born illness. Whether you’re running the family home or operating a restaurant, manufacturing plant, retail store, business office, school, health/medical center, sports complex or any other facility where family, friends, clients, customers, business associates, patrons, visitors and even resident employees can use restroom facilities and otherwise touch shared spaces, how well that facility handles the sterilization and disinfection of indoor spaces is key. For commercial enterprises, it can make or break the bottom line—both immediately amid the swift consequences should illness present, and longer term due to permanent damage to the brand reputation that will assuredly persist to some degree.

Luckily, emerging technology is making the sanitation process much easier, quicker, more effective and less expensive. One such tech solution is to leverage the power and efficacy of Germicidal Lights and Disinfection Ultraviolet Lamps. Such UV light-based sterilizers for indoor spaces, like the full spectrum of GermAwayUV solutions offered by CureUV.com, can readily disinfect both air and surfaces in a single room or throughout a complete home or business—and are eco-friendly to boot.

The healthcare and food manufacturing industries have been using UV germicidal energy to sanitize hospital rooms and medical equipment since the early 1900’s. The Centers for Disease Control confirms the germicidal effect of UV-C lamps, and FEMA even recommends its use for counter-bioterrorism.

With all of this in mind, here are a few notable products from CureUV.com that can help develop a healthier and safer home and workplace—one with less bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other such pathogens. Also one leaving a company’s customers with a better brand experience and, in turn, avoiding fiscal catastrophe.

GermAwayUV HVAC UVC Air Sterilizer (18 Watt) – $149.00

The rapid-fire nature of social media can make even one slight mishap or moment of carelessness by a business go global in minutes and linger for all time. This, coupled with the litigious nature of modern society in general, means that taking precautions that lessen risk factors for those visiting or working at a business site is not only prudent—it’s mission critical.
