FACILITIES WORLDWIDE COMMIT TO GBAC STAR ACCREDITATION
PROGRAMME Organisations from more than 30 countries in America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia have committed to accredit their facilities to GBAC STAR™ in the programme’s first weeks. This accreditation establishes requirements to assist facilities with work practices, protocols, procedures, and systems to control risks associated with infectious agents, such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The programme was launched by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), a division of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with the international response that the GBAC STAR programme has received,” said GBAC Executive Director Patricia Olinger. “With more and more organisations committing to follow the GBAC STAR framework, we can create a world that values cleanliness and implements it to the highest degree.”
GBAC STAR is designed for any size facility—including schools, offices, hotels, convention centres, airports, assisted care facilities, stadiums, and other public venues—to establish a comprehensive system of cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention.
Among the recently committed facilities are: Ashford Castle and the Lodge in the UK; The Shilla Hotel in South Korea; Wings Hotel in Rotterdam; Katikies properties
