Comment Workplace Sanitation (Score 1) 568
I worked as an electrical engineer doing control systems in workplace that is probably one of the most unsanitary- a wastewater treatment plant.
People only got sick when people passed the flu or cold from one person to another- an they usually caught the bug from their kids.
As for cleaning up equipment that has been, um, soiled- generally, if it's water-proofed, just bleach to disinfect and deorderize. If it's not water-proofed, I'm not sure what is done. Probably soak in bleach then throw it away.
I've learned two things from that job:
1) Wash your hands.
2) *hit flows downhill.
