In the face of the global pandemic, how do you get consumers back into bars and restaurants? One way is to assure them the premises are beyond normal cleanliness standards. Latitude 42˚ Brewing Co., Kalamazoo, Mich., took a major step in that direction, being awarded a Clorox Total 360® System and Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) Fundamentals Online course scholarship as part of a collaboration between CloroxPro®, ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, and GBAC, a division of ISSA.
The Kalamazoo restaurant group applied for the program as they look to maintain a cleaner environment and reinforce confidence for patrons who are visiting their facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
This program is open exclusively to organizations and individuals based in the United States. Priority is given to smaller businesses that have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and fall into the following categories: Foodservice; Hospitality; Transportation; Zoos/Amusement Parks; Prisons and Places of Worship. Applications for the program are open until June 30, 2021. To learn more and apply, visit: http://www.issa.com/clorox-gbac.
“Our goal at Latitude 42˚ Brewing Company is to do everything we can to help enhance the safety and well-being of our customers and employees all year round,” said Bradley J. Bishop, president. “The Clorox® Total 360® System will allow us to more effectively and efficiently clean and disinfect high-touch and hard-to-reach surfaces, and the added insights from the GBAC Fundamentals course will ensure a more enhanced comprehensive disinfection for our space.”
The Clorox® Total 360® System works by charging and atomizing the Clorox® disinfecting solution, delivering a powerful flow of charged droplets that are attracted to surfaces with a force stronger than gravity. This allows the disinfecting solution to reach and uniformly coat surfaces, including areas where conventional trigger sprays may easily miss.
The GBAC Fundamentals Online Course enables recipients to further their cleaning, disinfection and infection prevention education by teaching the fundamentals of cleaning and disinfecting for health as well as prevention, response and control measures for outbreak situations. Individuals who successfully complete the course become a GBAC-Trained TechnicianTM, and possess the planning, knowledge and processes needed to respond to a biohazard crisis in the workplace.
