Cleaning for Health
Healthy People
Through our partnerships with chemical manufacturers, distributors, and cleaning industry associations, Ascent will design a cleaning program that focuses on the health of our staff, our client’s personnel, and those who are impacted by our cleaning.
This begins with proper PPE (personal protective equipment), safe chemicals, and cleaning procedures. We utilize APP based training programs through CompuClean, Spartan Chemical, and ISSA.
Industry guidelines for performing Green Seal Certified cleaning for Commercial Cleaning Contractors are outlined ins GS-42 - https://greenseal.org/green-seal-standards/gs-42/
Healthy Buildings
Please review our information on Ascent’s disinfection protocol for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases here. All of Ascent’s services revolve around creating a safe environment for our team and clients.
Making a building healthy and safe begins by coordinating efforts with the client’s safety, security, and indoor air/health quality programs. Ascent will design & implement a strategy that takes into consideration a business’ green initiatives, recycling programs, and security protocols.
Our management team ensures all equipment is in good working order, chemicals are stored properly, diluted correctly, applied correctly, and all SDS’ (safety data sheets) are made available on-site. For more info on Healthy Buildings: https://hbr.org/2020/04/what-makes-an-office-building-healthy
Healthy Environment
Ascent’s services focus on indoor environments and the immediate grounds of clients, however understand that the chemicals & processes we use impact a much greater footprint. We seek to improve our environment through initiatives to reduce packaging, utilize “green seal” (https://www.greenseal.org/green-seal-standards/gs-37/) or environmentally friendly chemicals wherever possible, recycle chemical containers, dispose of chemicals safely, and actively participate in our client’s recycling programs.
Our principles of making an impact for good and creating relationships that benefit all serve as an underlying principle and guide to our sustainability efforts.
