FULL VIDEO PRESENTATION BELOW

COVID-19 and the exposure risks of the virus are rapidly evolving every day. Understanding the most recent updates on COVID-19 and its containment are essential as we implement local, federal and WHO recommended practices and procedures for the cleaning and disinfection of facilities including healthcare and long-term care homes, retail and grocery stores, offices and commercial spaces, high-density residential, educational facilities, industrial sites, and more. In addition to personal safety and hand hygiene, proper selection of cleaning and disinfection products, application methodology and dwell times are critical to ensuring a safe environment for not only our front-line cleaning crews, but the occupants within the buildings being cleansed.

5. Participants will learn how to develop a client response plan and unique protocols specific to any environment, whether it be retail, commercial, industrial, education, high-density residential or healthcare.
6. Participants will be introduced to the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC®), a division of ISSA, and the comprehensive certification and training programs available for staff and employees.
