W orkplace wellness is on the rise. In the early 2000s the practice was often viewed as a ‘nice to have’, but not a necessity. Now, employers, building consultants, developers and contractors are beginning to recognise that wellness and wellbeing can have a massive effect on morale and productivity and are adapting their operations. Designers of buildings can begin to outline strategies for making places like offices, schools and even industrial centres places where people can thrive. As companies and organisations anticipate the return of their workforce post lockdown, safeguarding their staff’s health, safety and well-being takes on an even greater urgency. Government Return to Work Safely Protocols make it clear that simply providing extra hand sanitisers and social distancing measures will not be enough. High levels of air quality management, no- touch doors, switches and other fittings are among the measures put forward to ensure high levels of hygiene in the office, small businesses, retail and education settings. Post Covid-19 OKTO Technologies is leading the technology fight to safeguard office workers, teachers, retail staff etc. during and after the Coronavirus pandemic. Its newly launchedWellness Division, OKTOair, helps building contractors, developers and contractors incorporate wellness technology into everyday lives. OKTOair’s Technology for Wellness helps to
develop and deliver wellness solutions that assess the health risks of employees, and even helps to motivate and engage workers with added health and productivity benefits. Philip Dowds, Managing Director at OKTO Technologies comments, “Never before has the public need been more focused on feeling safe and protected in the work or education environment. We fast-tracked the launch of our OKTOair filtration system as a result of Covid-19 because we feel it will have a positive and helpful impact for businesses across the country as they reopen their doors. The demand from commercial landlords has been significant, as the need to reassure tenants and customers that their premises are safe is great.” WELL Building Institute OKTOair is a member of the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), committed to enhancing buildings and communities to help people thrive. International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) is leading the global movement to transform buildings and communities, focussed exclusively on how the spaces around us can make us healthier, happier and more productive. Beyond Covid-19 As restrictions start to lift, preparing the indoor working environment for a post Covid-19 world becomes vital. From indoor air quality management to hands-free building access space, the OKTOair Wellness
Suite is a working solution that helps prepare the indoor environment for the new normal. Below is a brief introduction to the various suite systems. OKTOair Disinfecting Filtration Systems OKTOair monitors and maintains the air quality of the indoor environment. Artificial Intelligence technology determines how best to manage the air to attain ideal conditions automatically ventilating and cleaning the air. The intuitive dashboard shows detailed information of the air quality inside and outside the property in real time – empowering you with information on the quality of the air you breathe. The OKTOair Disinfecting Filtration Systems removes 99.99% of all airborne particulates including harmful contagions, allergens and pathogens down to 0.007microns, 10x smaller than the Coronavirus and 40x smaller than can be filtered by the perceived industry leading HEPA filters. In addition to filtration the air is purified using electronic disinfection techniques to destroy even the smallest bacteria or viruses. Testing of a proxy virus for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) at 0.03 micron has elimination within 45 minutes, certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after laboratory testing.
