Chapter 1: What is it?
Welcome to the GBAC STAR™ Facility Accreditation Program
The cleaning industry’s only outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation for facilities.
About GBAC STAR™
GBAC STAR is the gold standard of prepared facilities.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten the general public, necessitating ongoing service restrictions and the implementation of strict measures to contain the virus, facility operators across Canada are looking for guidance on how to go about, safely and lawfully, re-opening their shuttered doors. For large commercial buildings—including stadiums, retail spaces, office towers and convention centres—the need for a comprehensive set of best practices was not only apparent, but urgently sought by the commercial real estate sector at large.
Answering this call, the GBAC (Global Biorisk Advisory Council) has launched the cleaning industry’s first and only “outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation” program aimed at large facility operators. Already gaining traction in the U.S., the GBAC STAR™ program is now taking the complication and uncertainty out of the reopening process here in Canada.
The GBAC STAR™ facility accreditation program was launched in early May and has garnered support from many recognizable organizations. GBAC STAR™ is an excellent program for all facility owners/operators who are interested in being positioned as leaders in their particular industry market from a health and safety and competitive advantage perspective.
MediaEdge Communications is a proud reseller of the GBAC Star Facility Program and the GBAC Fundamentals Online Course: Cleaning and Disinfection Principles and we look forward to discussing these excellent programs with your organization.
