Flu Season To Be Curbed By New Flu Safety Kit

Sept. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- With over 100 million work days and 200 million school days missed each year due to colds and flu, preventative measures can be families’ and individual’s best bet to avoid getting sick.  The new Smart Touch flu safety kit available from Apollo Safety is an easy way to help combat the spread of the Influenza virus in the workplace and school environments.

In addition to CDC recommendations to avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth, washing hands in warm soapy water, and covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, a flu safety kit is instrumental in keeping desks, phones, keyboards and doorknobs free of viruses that can live for up to 24 hours.  Antimicrobial wipes, hand sanitizer, face masks and gloves are included in the safety kit and are your best defense against catching the flu.

According to John Carvalho, president and CEO of Apollo Safety, “This flu season we wanted to provide our customers with a safe and effective means for preventing the spread of the virus.  Our flu safety kit is an affordable and practical way to keep offices, schools and health care facilities fortified in an effort to minimize sick days and school absences.”

Smart Touch flu safety kits are available at apollosafety.com,  by phone at (800) 813 -5408, or through amazon.com.
