Who should take this training?

required to have a safe and clean business. It is recommended that those who are typically “non-cleaning” staff also take this training.

• Identify potential areas of a property/business that require cleaning and disinfecting or sanitizing
• Understand the importance of increased cleaning maintenance and the impact if it is not consistently performed at a safe level and
• Use the right cleaning and disinfecting steps per area by re-visiting current standards of practice.

This training will raise awareness and educate learners on the:

• Types of cleaning solutions
• Difference between cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting
• Consequences of not cleaning properly
• Areas to be cleaned and disinfected
• Frequency of cleaning

It is a program to teach cleaners and all staff when, where and how frequently cleaning is required to provide a safe environment for customers and employees considering our current situation with COVID-19.It is also a program with long term benefits for your business. To ensure learners understanding the content contained in the program the pass score on the test is 100%
