This isn't janitorial cleaning. This is environmental services.
Healthcare facilities require infection-control procedures, regulatory awareness, and specialized training—standards borrowed from hospital EVS programs. As certified specialists in the medical industry, we understand these needs and implement them in your facility, not as a janitor, but as an EVS partner.
Compliance Awareness
OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has many regulations concerning occupational exposure, chemical usage, employee safety, and facility disinfection. At Shearer EVS, we recognize the need to emphasize compliance with these standards through documented cleaning schedules, exposure control plans, hazard communication standards, PPE policies, bloodborne pathogen and needlestick prevention training, among many others.
The Risk of Hiring An Uncertified Cleaning Service
Many cleaning companies lack the proper training and protocol to adequately control exposure in medical facilities. More often than not, these companies view the medical sector as an ancillary industry - any true understanding of the industry is an afterthought.
At Shearer EVS we are excited to be working with the International Janitorial and Cleaning Services Association (IJCSA) to provide a service tailored specifically to the medical industry, giving healthcare practices and their patients peace of mind.
