Planning Ahead for the Next Outbreak

Being ready can save lives during health crisis and set clients minds at ease. 

With the new variants and emerging threats like Monkeypox, RSV, COVID-19 etc. making headlines, BSC’s (Building Service Contractors) face increasing pressure from clients to maintain consistent, high quality cleaning protocols.

Clients expect BSC’s (Building Service Contractors) to take proactive steps to address potential risks and assure them they are prepared for any situation, but what does that look like? 

Facility tenants, visitors, and building occupants want assurance that they are safe in every building they enter. It is important that cleaning organizations highlight their trained staff and communicate to stakeholders that they are following high standards through accreditations and ISO 9001 certifications.

By selecting a disinfectant that targets small, non-enveloped viruses BSCs can ensure their cleaning protocols are robust enough to kill all viruses, including newer, more resistant strains. 

A targeted approach is recommended to maintain hygiene in shared spaces. Identify high-touch surfaces, like microwave handles, elevator buttons and refrigerator doors for targeted disinfection, Then focus cleaning efforts on those hotspots to prevent the growth and transfer of infections, as well as the potential of cross-contamination. By prioritizing the removal of soil and grime, we can eliminate the food sources that allow bacteria and viruses to thrive, reminding us that good hygiene often begins with simple, thoughtful cleaning routines. 

BSC’s can establish and strengthen trust with clients long before a health crisis arises. Prioritizing effective communication and transparency about cleaning efforts reassures occupants and fosters a collaborative, safe atmosphere.
