Are the hospitality industry and event venues ready for post COVID19?

The year 2020 marked a major shift within the hospitality and events industry around the world. Sanitation and cleanliness have always been important no matter what service you provide as a vendor in the events world. However, the COVID19 pandemic has brought cleaning and sanitation to a new level of importance. Consumer confidence will take some time to make its way back to businesses around the country. Our responsibility within the hospitality industry is ensuring vendors, clients and guests feel safe and healthy in their event spaces.

GBAC STAR Accreditation

One of the most important components of the GBAC STAR accreditation is professional cleaning services. This is due to the importance of cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention. This, along with many other elements are part of the certification process. So, what is the GBAC STAR accreditation? The GBAC STAR program, created by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (a division of ISSA), the worldwide cleaning industry association), provides venue-cleaning professionals best practices on how to prepare and respond to infectious diseases and biohazards.

The GBAC STAR accreditation is a way for venues and public arenas to demonstrate a commitment to public health and safety. The accreditation is quickly becoming coveted in the events industry and beyond. It is no surprise that South Florida, one of the top event destinations around the world already has venue obtaining accreditation. In May of 2020, the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the home of Super Bowl 2020, announced it will be the first pro football stadium to attain the GBAC STAR accreditation.

Completing the certification program will begin to instill confidence in clients and attendees. The program is made up of 20 elements, as described by GBAC. Each is supported by guidance and specific performance criteria. It will also require facilities to establish and maintain a cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention program. This program will set controls in place and minimize risks with infectious diseases such as COVID19.

Vision, Associations and Certifications

The YML Team (YML Cleaning and Event Services and YML Portable Restrooms) have always followed strict disinfecting and cleanliness guidelines. Their work can be the first line of defense for clients as they provide janitorial and cleaning services to all commercial facilities. These facilities include event venues, office buildings and retail stores, to name a few. In the combat against COVID19 and other diseases, they have always used products for disinfecting that include Clorox and Lysol. These are two of the now recommended and approved EPA products in the prevention and fight against COVID19.

Gaining consumer confidence will be crucial in the years to come. Those vendors, potential clients hiring an event space and future guests of venues or public facilities reading about this accreditation program, can certainly have peace of mind. Peace of mind, that an event space accredited by the global organization for biorisk and earning the GBAC STAR accreditation will have your safety and health as top priority while enjoying the event space. The importance of disinfection, cleanliness, training, and guidance post COVID19 will be of utmost importance for any commercial space. Event spaces and venues where large crowds gather will especially need further attention, guidance and policies and procedures in place.

Cleanliness and disinfection, having a professional cleaning and maintenance team and training are several of the components for accreditation. Properly trained staff equates to properly trained and knowledgeable clients. At YML Cleaning and Event Services and YML Portable Restrooms we have always been committed to excellence in the field of cleanliness and disinfection. We have provided event cleaning and maintenance services in South Florida and throughout Florida since 2009, specializing in events. We also provide cleaning and maintenance services to office and other commercial properties within our janitorial division.
