EVENT PRICING

Infection prevention is not just important in health care facilities. Current events demonstrate the need for both routine cleaning and disinfection of surfaces within facilities of all types to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

In this CMM webinar, you’ll gain an understanding of the pathogens you’re up against and how to choose the correct chemistries and technologies to fight them. Not only will you learn how to establish an effective program with the proper tools, chemistries, and labor, but you’ll also take away ideas of how to communicate and market your services to stakeholders and clients.

Topics of discussion will include:

  • The science behind why facilities of all types need an infection prevention plan
  • How different chemistries are needed to inactivate different pathogens
  • How disinfectants affect surfaces and finishes differently
  • Legal requirements for disinfectants and how they can help you with your product selection
  • The necessity of continuous training and internal and external communications
  • Process considerations such as customized task lists, labor variables, and quality control costs
  • Bidding infection prevention (BSCs) and marketing your program.

Join us in the conversation about the future of infection prevention in all settings. Presenters will take questions from the audience in a live Q&A session at the end of the program.

This program is brought to you by our sponsors, Annihilare, Ecolab, SmartIQ, and SteraMist by TOMI Environmental Solutions.
