Over half of Brits would consider taking legal action against an employer if they contracted a serious illness from dirty office equipment - a survey reveals. The survey, commissioned by consumer electronics company Doro, found 31 percent of UK office workers blame dirty equipment for the spread of bugs and their time off work.
Further, over half those surveyed are concerned about the germs they can catch from their office phones, keyboards and mice.
The findings - which also include the fact that over a third of UK office workers donĂ't know when their desk phone was last cleaned.
The company which commissioned the report, also coincidentally has just launched a range of desktop phones which include anti-bacterial surfaces.
