There is NO dumb question. That is what we were taught.
Before you listen, we want to thank all of you who are getting your Professional Certification from ACE.
However, Dave is on a tare with what services/operations are doing which are just plain WRONG. At a time where we are at the forefront of saving the lives of the people who are going to use the facilities we service, Dave is on his soapbox about GETTING it RIGHT.
Just because you have done something for years does NOT mean you are doing it right.
Thank you for the people who joined in and sent in questions.
Listen to this and then join us tomorrow at 1 PM LIVE talking about everything about Cleaning and Disinfecting.
Can't join us LIVE, send Dave a question; dthompson@academyofcleaning.com

J. Darrel Hicks presented a 2-hour class on COVID-19, risk assessment, processing of surface, what W.A.S.T.E. stands for and the value of being certified to handle the issue which comes with infection prevention in both the workplace and at home.
In today's podcast, the guys talk about the use of hand sanitizer vs. hand washing, knowing your personal space and controlling your environment. Did you know that you touch entrance points on your face over 19 times every hour? These are the places (eyes, nose, mouth) where infectious agents gain entrance to your body and can cause infections and sometimes death.
Here are a few links to the information Darrel and Dave spoke about.
