At ABM, the safety of our team members, our clients, and the public is always of primary importance in everything that we do. In light of the fluid situation regarding COVID-19, ABM remains vigilant in monitoring the most up-to-date safety, infection control and cleaning protocols recommended by global experts, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) and others.
We are actively engaged with our Safety, Service Delivery and Operations teams globally to ensure the appropriate information is shared and the needs are met of clients and team members.
Need HelpwithCOVID-19?
Many ABM clients are asking whether we offer an enhanced cleaning option beyond current service levels. The answer is "yes."
While prevention is key to the spread of any virus, there are products we can provide beyond general cleaners as part of your regular cleaning service for building entrances, commonly used areas, high-touch surfaces or in specialized applications.*
*Based on availability
Switching from all-purpose or general cleaners to EPA-registered disinfectants will help prevent the spread of pathogens while following strict disinfection procedures. ABM uses disinfecting procedures for high touch surfaces.
Increased frequency of cleaning with disinfectants in high traffic areas is an additional measure you can take to help protect your facility and occupants. ABM will partner with you to understand traffic patterns and occupancy levels to determine your specific needs.
If you would like additional services outside the standard scope of work and contract, such as more frequent cleaning for high traffic areas, please either contact your local ABM representative, or call 866-624-1520 and select option 3.
