Air, Surface, Water – The Trifecta of Cleanliness – ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo 2024
In today’s fast-paced world, where health and safety have taken centre stage, the significance of maintaining a clean and safe environment cannot be overstated. If facility managers and cleaning professionals are to succeed as champions of the indoor environment, then identifying what to measure is crucial for maximising our ability to protect people, property, and the overall quality of the indoor environment. This workshop will aid participants in using tools that help increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the quality of cleaning services. Participants will leave with the knowledge and skills necessary to measure and analyse the cleanliness of air, surfaces, and water in buildings. In this hands-on workshop Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner will draw from his experience working in Ebola hospitals, managing trauma and crime scene clean-up, and implementing solutions to decrease transmission of infectious diseases through air and surfaces in hospitals.
This workshop is taking place at the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.
