Janitorial Services in Nashville, TN: Medical Offices

Health­care facil­i­ties are some of the nation’s most impor­tant insti­tu­tions. Nashville, TN is filled with sev­er­al health­care facil­i­ties, includ­ing hos­pi­tals, adult care homes, reha­bil­i­ta­tion cen­ters, HIV clin­ics, birthing cen­ters, and much more.

Because these facil­i­ties tend to the ill, every inch of them must be kept san­i­tary for the health and safe­ty of patients, fam­i­lies, staff, and doc­tors — this includes areas that don’t direct­ly fea­ture patient activ­i­ty, such as offices, cafe­te­rias, and lob­bies. It’s also becom­ing increas­ing­ly impor­tant to keep the envi­ron­men­tal impact of these build­ings in mind. For these rea­sons, qual­i­ty jan­i­to­r­i­al ser­vices are more impor­tant in health­care facil­i­ties than any­where else.

Clean­ing Stan­dards in Healthcare

To ensure con­tin­ued health and safe­ty inside health­care facil­i­ties, the U.S. gov­ern­ment has issued spe­cif­ic clean­ing stan­dards in health­care via admin­is­tra­tive pro­grams. For instance, the Occu­pa­tion­al Safe­ty and Health Admin­is­tra­tion (OSHA) pro­tects work­ers through the enforce­ment of safe­ty stan­dards. The Cen­ter for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion (CDC) focus­es on pre­vent­ing the spread of dis­ease by inform­ing indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions of the lat­est research, trends, out­breaks, and cautions.

Those in health­care clean­ing ser­vices must com­ply with the stan­dards set by OSHA, the CDC, and oth­er groups. Rep­utable com­pa­nies will pro­vide their work­ers with prop­er train­ing in these areas. This train­ing will include detailed instruc­tions on how to prop­er­ly han­dle blood-borne pathogens (BBP) and air­borne infec­tions, use per­son­al pro­tec­tive equip­ment (PPE) such as gog­gles, gloves, cloth­ing, and more.

Envi­ron­men­tal Clean­ing in Health­care Facilities

Keep­ing health­care facil­i­ties san­i­tary is top pri­or­i­ty, but more and more peo­ple are now cog­nizant of the envi­ron­men­tal impact made by clean­ing prod­ucts and large insti­tu­tions. Accord­ing to a 2016 pub­li­ca­tion, ​“Envi­ron­men­tal Impacts of the U.S. Health Care Sys­tem and Effects on Pub­lic Health,” by Matthew J. Eck­el­man and Jodi Sher­man, the health sec­tor alone made for 10% of green­house gas emis­sions in 2013. Health­care insti­tu­tions also con­tributed great­ly to air tox­in lev­els, acid rain pro­duc­tion, and oth­er pollutants.

To help mit­i­gate these neg­a­tive effects, groups like the Inter­na­tion­al San­i­tary Sup­ply Asso­ci­a­tion (ISSA) and Unit­ed States Green Build­ing Coun­cil (USG­BC) have cre­at­ed pro­grams to incen­tivize green jan­i­to­r­i­al ser­vices. The Budd Group is CIMS (Clean­ing Indus­try Man­age­ment Stan­dard) cer­ti­fied and offers green solu­tions under the USG­BC guidelines.

With this cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, we at The Budd Group use green sealed chem­i­cals stan­dard­ized by the Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion Agency (EPA). These biodegrad­able prod­ucts are placed in recy­clable pack­ag­ing and there­fore pro­duce far less waste than oth­er chem­i­cals. They’re also less tox­ic than their non-green sealed coun­ter­parts. There are some instances though that you’re going to encounter some med­ical waste which isn’t biodegrad­able. This will need to be dis­posed of in the appro­pri­ate manner.

In addi­tion to using green chem­i­cals, the equip­ment we use is also more sus­tain­able. Our high-speed buffers include dust con­trol, and the HEPA vac­u­um clean­ers we use meet the stan­dards set by the Car­pet and Rug Institute.

The Budd Group pro­vides the high­est qual­i­ty med­ical office clean­ing in Nashville, TN. Whether it’s a hos­pi­tal, urgent care facil­i­ty, or assist­ed liv­ing cen­ter, you can rely on The Budd Group’s effec­tive and green clean­ing solu­tions to keep the offices, lob­bies, cafe­te­rias, and exte­ri­ors of these build­ings clean, san­i­tary, and safe.
