FACILITY ASSESSMENT
You can’t see the environmental contaminants that make people sick with the unaided eye. These invisible threats can pose a serious risk to the health of your employees and business.
Victory Lab Micro-Clean offers facility assessments, surface hygiene, and indoor air quality management a part of our facility hygiene management services.
Understanding your facility’s hygiene means identifying and assessing risks posed to facility users and visitors by exposure to biological threats in your environment. This is essential to maintaining the levels of health & safety demanded by today’s standards.
Facility Hygiene is the practices required to make spaces clean and safe from contaminants and pathogens that can cause irritation, illness, or death.
A Victory Lab Micro-Clean facility hygiene assessment investigates the risk of exposure to pathogens and biological hazards in your building(s). To do this we test indoor air & surfaces, evaluate your current hygiene program, and identify contamination sources and modes of transmission.
Regulations
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) carefully monitor biological agents within work environments to ensure the safety of employees. Among the biological agents and hazards listed by OSHA are:
- Viruses, such as COVID-19, hantavirus, Ebola, and more
- Disease-causing bacteria linked to anthrax, measles, and more
- Mold spores, fungi, and other plant toxins such as ricin
- Other bloodborne or airborne biological pathogens
Infection Prevention is a well-known practice in highly regulated industries such as healthcare and foodservice. However, every industry needs to adopt the practice of viewing their facility hygiene from an infection prevention perspective.
Assessing your facility’s environment for biological threats usually includes a combination of assessments like indoor air quality testing, surface contamination testing, and process evaluation. We use data from our findings to make invisible biosafety threats visible.
Every facility is different. This is why Victory Lab Micro-Clean offers a flexible range of assessments to accommodate your industry and budget. Our team of microbiologists and infection prevention experts work closely with you to address any facility hygiene or biosafety risk concerns and provide recommendations and programs for infection prevention & hygiene management.
Exposure to pathogens can occur in any industry – and any work environment. While food-service and healthcare industries face tighter regulations regarding biological agents, assessments can help prevent potential risk in any industry.
An assessment can help you determine the type and severity of the risk, as well as ways to prevent injury. There are many reasons to obtain facility hygiene assessment of your workplace, including:
- A workers’ compensation claim
- Employee reports of sickness or injury
- Introduction of a new biological agent, cleaning product, or process.
- To create a documented record of safety practices
