\u201cSince the pandemic started, the world has come to realize\nthe significance and importance of proper cleaning and disinfection to protect\nour health,\u201d said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. \u201cTo receive this distinction is a\ntestament to our team\u2019s commitment to making sure our travelers, operators,\nairlines, concessionaires, tenants and business partners have the safest\nenvironment possible when interacting with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Global Biorisk Advisory Council\u2019s GBAC STAR\u2122 facility\naccreditation program is an outbreak prevention, response, and recovery\naccreditation for facilities. It represents a high level of achievement within\nthe cleaning industry, including 20 components that a facility must meet in\norder to achieve this accreditation. Facilities must also demonstrate that they\nhave established and maintained a cleaning and disinfecting program to minimize\nrisks of infectious diseases; have employed the proper protocols to clean and\ndisinfect facilities; and have staff who are trained for outbreak and infectious\ndisease preparation and response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
