Charles Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona and Americas’ leading expert on work and home hygiene says an average office has 100 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.

He along with his fellow researchers found that the ‘germiest’ workplace surfaces included (ranked from most germy to least germy):
  • Phone
  • Keyboard
  • Computer Mouse
  • Desktop 

It is patently obvious that human hands are the primary carriers of germs in the workplace and they need to be clean and dry in order to stop infection.
