A Healthy Workplace Starts In the Janitor’s Closet by ACE Cleaning Systems

A Healthy Workplace Starts In the Janitor’s Closet

by ACE Cleaning Systems

Is Your Workplace Healthy?

We all want to live and work in a safe and sanitary environment.  In light of the recent covid-19 outbreak, we have become more aware of the importance of cleaning (and disinfecting) the surfaces we touch in our workplaces.  While no facility can be made “germ free”, janitorial companies can utilize modern cleaning and disinfection practices to create a safe and healthy work environment for your business.

Much of the equipment and cleaning practices in current use have become outdated because they are less effective at removing germs.   This is because science has uncovered three disturbing facts:

1. Surfaces that look clean are not always free of germs.

2. Cleaning incorrectly can actually cause germs to spread from one area to another.

3. Certain types of cleaning equipment and supplies actually encourage the spread of germs.

The important takeaways are this:  surfaces that look clean can still contain enough germs to cause an illness to spread.  And, even though it may look like someone is cleaning and disinfecting your facility, they may unknowingly be spreading germs around because they aren’t using the right cleaning methods and or equipment.

So, how can you know if your cleaning company is removing sufficient amounts of germs from the surfaces they clean?  First, inspect the janitor’s closet for outdated commercial cleaning equipment and supplies.

 

 

What’s in your janitor’s closet?

A janitorial closet that is well organized and kept clean provides a clue that your janitorial company is doing its job properly.  But, the type of equipment and supplies you find inside your closet can uncover the real reason you’re not reducing employee absenteeism.

Is your janitor closet unorganized?  Are bottles not labeled? Are rags thrown all over the place?  Do you see dirty string mops and contaminated buckets?  Is there a “dirty” laundry bag to keep new and used towels separated?  Does you company have disposable microfiber towels in the event your workplace has reported sick employees?

 

Look in your janitor’s closet for three signs of inadequate disinfection and or cross contamination(i.e. the spread of germs):

1. String mops and buckets – There are very few uses for string mops in outpatient healthcare facilities.  String mops can spread massive amounts of germs around (see study below) when used for routine floor cleaning.   String mops can be replaced with inexpensive, EPA recommended, bucket-less flat mops that virtually eliminate cross contamination (see the UC Davis study on flat mops vs. string mops here).

2. Soiled rags, wet string mops, buckets with standing water should not be found lying around or hanging in your janitor’s closet (they are breeding grounds for germs). Soiled cleaning cloths and mop heads should be stored in closed containers and laundered properly after each use. Cleaning cloths and mop heads should not be hand washed on-site and re-used.

3. Find out the name of the disinfectant your cleaning company is using (please look in your janitor’s closet). Every chemical in the closet should be labeled (OSHA regulations) and should have a corresponding safety data sheet (SDS). The cleaning company should be using a disinfectant that has been approved by the EPA for use against the coronavirus. The list can be found here:

https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2

 

Cleaning Best Practices:

Best practices are defined as commercial procedures that are accepted as being correct or most effective.  Best cleaning practices have been developed in the janitorial industry through research by leading authorities in the field.  These practices include the use of certain types of equipment, supplies and cleaning methods and when followed, produce high quality results.

Cleaning Standards:

So, how can you know if your janitorial company’s equipment can reduce employee absenteeism and protect the health of your staff?  It’s really not hard to find out.  Just follow the checklist we’ve created for you below.  This list is not arbitrary.  Its based on accepted cleaning standards that have been developed after years of research by highly respected organizations such as:

the EPACDC, and USGBC (United States Green Building Council).

The cleaning standards developed by these organizations are widely accepted as janitorial cleaning best practices.  But, unfortunately, they aren’t always practiced.  Commercial cleaning companies often use outdated, ineffective equipment that just can’t get the job done properly.

 

Janitorial Closet Checklist:

The equipment checklist below is your best defense against hiring the wrong cleaning company and keeping your workplace safe and healthy.  Ask these questions before you sign your next janitorial cleaning contract:

1) Do you use string mops?

If they answer yes, this is a big red flag.  Many companies still use outdated string mops that spread dirt and germs around.  Microfiber flat mops are a better choice and an accepted standard.

Read more about the best mops to use in healthcare and most commercial facilities:

https://www.acecleaningsystems.com/single-post/The-Best-And-Worst-Mops-For-Commercial-Cleaning

 

2) Do you dilute chemicals by hand?

Many companies still dilute cleaning solutions by hand.  Manual methods of dilution are unreliable and can be dangerous.  Automated dilution systems are the cleaning standard today.

 

3) Are all bottles labeled according to OSHA standards?

OSHA requires labeling on all cleaning products to prevent improper use.  This is for the safety of your building’s occupants.  Is the company OSHA compliant?

 

4) Do you use green clean certified products?

Green cleaning products are safe and non-toxic.  They are not required, but are becoming an accepted standard in many facilities.

 

5) Do you use microfiber towels?

Microfiber towels are the accepted standard for surface cleaning and disinfection.  Paper towels and cotton rags cannot remove dirt or soil as effectively and are out of favor.  Many companies use paper towels to avoid using microfiber towels that require ongoing laundering services.  To minimize the spread of infections janitorial companies should  endorse disposable microfiber towels.

 

6) Do you use a color-coded system for towels?

Color-coded towel systems prevent the spread of germs from one area of your facility to another. You don’t want a janitorial worker using the same towel to clean your bathroom and desk.  Color-coding prevents this from happening.

 

7) Do you use HEPA certified vacuums?

HEPA certified vacuums capture very fine dust particles. They improve indoor air quality and remove more soil than other vacuums. This is an accepted cleaning standard, especially in hospitals, medical offices, schools and child care centers.  Many cleaning companies use in-expensive, less effective vacuums.   Poor air quality has been associated with headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, irritation of the lungs and other health issues, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  Read more about how to increase the indoor air quality in your workplace:

https://www.cleanlink.com/cp/article/High-Vacuuming-Improves-Indoor-Air-Quality–23910

 

8) Will you be using EPA registered, hospital grade disinfectants?

There are many disinfectants available for purchase over the counter.  However, the accepted standard and more effective practice is to use commercially available, EPA registered disinfectants.

9) Do you use a laundry system to clean and disinfect towels and rags?

If a janitorial company doesn’t have a separate laundry bag for used towels, it’s another red flag.  Accepted standards include frequent changing of microfiber towels to prevent the spread of dirt and germs, aka cross contamination.  After towels have become soiled, they should be stored in a “dirty” bag until laundered.  This sounds like a simple process, but you’d be surprised how many cleaning companies don’t have a laundering system in place.

 

10) Do you have a disinfection plan if there is an outbreak in your workplace?

Electrostatic spray disinfection is a highly effective method of applying an EPA-registered disinfectant to surfaces and objects.  The disinfectant is sprayed on electrostatically, causing it to cling and wrap around the surface or object, providing a more thorough and effective disinfection.

Federal Coronavirus Legislation and Enforcing Your COVID-19 Protocols

by DONNA DIMAGGIO BERGER

Contact: dberger@beckerlawyers.com

I hope this CALL Alert finds each of you in continued good health.

The extent to which this pandemic has and will impact our private residential communities will not be known for some time. In the interim, we are urging our CALL members to take all recommended precautions to minimize the potential for community spread in their associations.

It is not surprising that some of your residents are pushing back against the COVID-19 protocols you’ve put in place for their protection.  As the weeks go on, you can expect even more violations as residents grow even more restless. However, it is important to remember that any individual who continues to use closed common areas, refuses to adhere to social distancing or enhanced sanitization guidelines or who has been ordered to self quarantine but refuses to do so is not committing a trivial violation. That resident is potentially putting his or her neighbors at serious risk of contracting COVID-19.  As such, boards must react swiftly to such violations.

If you have individuals who have arrived in your community from a hotspot where there has been substantial community spread who do not adhere to the 14-day quarantine order, the penalties can be quite severe. Any person who violates any isolation or quarantine directed by the Department of Health commits a misdemeanor of the 2nd degree punishable by imprisonment not to exceed 60-days and a fine of up to $500.  It is the duty of every state and county attorney, sheriff, police officer and other city and county officials to enforce the DOH’s quarantine order.  That being said, some local officials are stringently enforcing these orders while others are not.  In addition, you may have individuals who are not subject to a quarantine order but have nevertheless jumped the pool fence to continue accessing your closed pool or decided to keep using the fitness room. All of these violations require swift action on your part.

Please click here to read my latest column in the Miami Herald on enforcing your COVID-19 protocols. If you are experiencing violations of your COVID-19 protocols please contact me immediately to discuss your options.

****

Many of you have been following the COVID-19 legislation Congress is passing and wondering whether the relief being offered will apply to your association.The Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security Act (CARES) is a $2 trillion relief package which allocates $350 billion to help small businesses keep their workers employed throughout this pandemic.  The Small Business Administration (SBA) will provide loans of up to $10 million which may be forgiven provided workers stay employed through the end of June known as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The purpose for these loans is to allow small businesses to fund payroll and to make their mortgage, lease and utility payments. Unfortunately, community associations do not appear to currently be eligible for these payments as they do not fit within any of the eligible categories:

  • Small Businesses with fewer than 500 employees
  • 501(c)(3) organizations (charitable, religious or educational institutions)
  • 501(c)(19) organizations (veterans)
  • Tribal businesses
  • Individuals who operate a sole proprietor
  • Individuals who are independent contractors

There is confusion in some quarters about the difference between a not-for-profit corporation and a nonprofit. Community associations fit within the former category as they are not-for-profit corporations.However, community associations could qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) which are low interest loans of up to $2 million with principal and interest deferment at the Administrator’s discretion and are available to pay expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred and include payroll and other operating expenses. Obtaining this loan may require membership approval so speak to your Becker attorney when applying for same.

In addition to helping businesses stay afloat, CARES will provide most individuals earning less than $75,000 (based on either one’s 2018 or 2019 tax return) a one-time cash payment of $1,200 with married couples each receiving a payment. Families would also receive $500 per child. People who receive Social Security benefits but do not file tax returns are still eligible for these payments. Individuals who are out of work will receive an additional $600 per week from the federal government on top of the base amount that the State of Florida provides.  CARES also creates a new, temporary Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program through the end of this year to help people who lose work as a direct result of COVID-19 and provides an additional 13 weeks of unemployment insurance. This monetary relief should help ease the financial uncertainties that many of your residents are facing.

****

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”) was signed into law on March 18, 2020 and became effective on April 2, 2020. Among other items, this legislation provides paid sick leave and expanded paid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).  This legislation:Covers all private employers with fewer than 500 employees. Including community association employers that have fewer than 500 employees.

  • Covers both full and part-time employees. Full time employees receive sick leave of up to 80 hours. Provides part-time employees with paid sick leave equal to the number of hours the employee works on average over a 2-week period.
  • Provides that employees may immediately take paid sick leave regardless of the length of employment.
  • Provides that employees may take expanded leave under the FMLA provided the employee must have worked for an employer for at least 30 calendar days.
  • Protects employees who are taking paid sick leave because they have been diagnosed with COVID-19, experiencing symptoms and seeking a diagnosis, experiencing symptoms substantially similar to those exhibited by COVID-19 or who are quarantined by providing them with a maximum of $511 per day or $5,110 in total.
  • Protects employees taking paid sick leave to care for a family member who is sick or quarantined or to care for a child whose school or place of care is closed by providing them with a maximum of $200 per day or $2,000 in total.
  • The FFCRA requires a community association to provide employees leave to care for a child who is not sick. FFCRA requires up to 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a child under 18 years of age if the child’s school or place of care has been closed. It does not matter whether the child is sick. The first 10 days of leave are unpaid, but the employee can use any accrued paid leave during that time. The remainder of the leave is paid at 2/3 of the employee’s regular rate of pay, not to exceed $200 per day or $10,000 in total.
  • Presently there is no relief for community associations with fewer than 50 employees. However the Secretary of Labor under FFCRA has the authority to exempt small businesses with fewer than 50 employees when compliance with FFCRA would jeopardize the viability of the business.
  • Employers who pay leave under FFCRA will be reimbursed through a payroll tax credit.
  • It is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee who takes paid sick leave in accordance with FFCRA or who files a complaint under FFCRA. The penalties are similar to those provided for under the Fair Labor Standards Act which generally provides for lost wages, liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees and costs to a prevailing employee.

So many important aspects of our daily lives have changed since Governor DeSantis first declared a State of Emergency on March 9, 2020 and a national State of Emergency was declared on March 13, 2020.  The coming weeks will continue to present their challenges but we are here to help your board and management professionals.For our most up to date information please visit us at www.beckercovid19.com.

Axela Technologies Welcomes New President of Business Development After 600% Growth in 2019…

Axela Technologies Welcomes New President of Business Development After 600% Growth in 2019…

  • Posted: Jan 10, 2020

  • Comments: Comments Off on Axela Technologies Welcomes New President of Business Development After 600% Growth in 2019…

Axela Technologies Inc, a specialized collections company servicing Community Associations, announced today the promotion of longtime industry expert Mitch Drimmer to President of Business Development. The appointment comes as the company exceeded 600% growth in 2019 under Drimmer’s leadership.

Axela Technologies, a specialized collections firm servicing the community association industry, has promoted Mitchell Drimmer to President of Business Development. This promotion was precipitated by strong growth in Axela’s collections division in 2019. In his new role, Drimmer will spearhead the formation of a national sales team as the company continues to enter new markets.

In his prior role as VP of Business Development, Drimmer worked with community associations and their management companies to introduce innovative strategies to collect delinquent maintenance fees. Under Drimmer’s watch in 2019, the company expanded operations, and grew its’ client base by over 600%. He has traveled nationwide, speaking at industry events and educating community association managers about the most effective ways to address the ever-present issue of delinquencies, solidifying his position as a thought-leader within the industry.

“Mitch has done a fantastic job getting the word out that there is a new and better way to recover delinquent fees,” says Martin Urruela, CEO of Axela. “He is committed to helping community associations and their managers adopt new technologies to better run their communities and businesses. Above all, Mitch is a fantastic communicator and teacher, and cares deeply about the success and well-being of the communities that we serve”.

Axela believes that legal action and foreclosure should be the measure of last resort when addressing association delinquencies. Through proprietary technologies that automate and streamline the process, Axela customers can escalate a unit to collections easier than ever to start seeing results immediately.

“In the United States, we have over 73 million people living in associations paying almost $100bn in annual assessments. A large percentage of which goes uncollected due to simple process inefficiencies,” states Drimmer. “Our mission at Axela is to ease the burden on managers and boards with the best collection solutions available in the market. It works; as evidenced by the fact that less than 5% of our collection files move to foreclosure. And did I mention we’ve never lost a customer?” quips Drimmer.

Drimmer has worked for Axela Technologies since early 2018, joining the company as the first business development executive. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Hunter College in New York City, and has worked in the community association collections space since 2007.
