The best way to combat COVID-19 is to attack the virus that causes it. The comprehensive Ecolab Science Certified program is designed for specific business environments to use science-backed products and protocols to address a range of known and emerging food safety and public health issues, including COVID-19.
The Ecolab Science Certified program uses products, including hospital disinfectants, proven effective against the COVID-19 virus and other germs; requires employees are trained on when, where and how to clean and disinfect properly; and validates that cleaning and disinfecting procedures are being followed with periodic audits.
The Ecolab Science Certified audit checks that participating businesses are following local and federal public health guidelines. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, this includes practices like social distancing and mask wearing to mitigate the risk of airborne transmission.
To further advance cleaner and safer practices, the program also addresses multiple sources of infection transmission, including surfaces, water, hands and air. The Ecolab Science Certified audit is designed to check that infection transmission sources and services are properly addressed.
