ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the
beginning of the pandemic, 3M
(NYSE:MMM) has played a critical role in the global response
to COVID-19, and as economies reopen, 3M is helping businesses return to work. Today,
the company is launching the 3M™ Clean & Protect Certified
Badge Program, a new comprehensive system for cleaning, monitoring
and protecting facilities.
The 3M™ Clean & Protect Program is a new comprehensive system
for cleaning, monitoring and protecting facilities.
"There is a cautious optimism in the air as the world emerges
from this global pandemic," said Greg
Brown, facility care business director for 3M Commercial Solutions Division. "By providing
our customers with the tools, products and training needed to
reopen, the Clean & Protect Program not only provides facility
teams with the ability to help create a safer work environment but
also helps gives their guests more confidence in the health and
safety of the facility."
The 3MTM Clean &
Protect Certified Badge Program Components
The 3MTM Clean &
Protect Certified Badge Program was designed to provide
facility management teams with effective cleaning and disinfecting
solutions and training to allow for a safer return to normal
activities and operations. Although teams are working hard behind
the scenes to reopen safely, being able to provide a visual cue
that illustrates their commitment to clean is important. The
program includes four components to promote cleanliness, confidence
and compliance in facilities.
- Cleaning & Disinfection Solutions: Customers
can choose from a wide range of 3M
solutions to enhance their existing cleaning and disinfection
protocols including cleaning chemical solutions, EPA-approved
disinfectants, including those for COVID-19, and cleaning tools and
chemical dispensers.
- Cleaning Verification & Monitoring
Systems: Customers will be able to measure the
cleanliness of their facilities in real-time with the 3M™
Clean-Trace™ ATP Monitoring System. The system will allow them
to track and monitor changes in cleanliness over time.
- Training: Making sure staff are properly trained on
disinfection best practices is key to achieving a safer facility
for all. Customers will be required to complete specially designed
online training modules from the 3M
Cleaning Academy.
- Social Distancing & Wayfinding
Graphics: Clearly communicating facility practices to
occupants is essential to keeping all who enter your facility
safer. Customers will have access to a wide range of floor and
surface graphics and safety marketing tapes and tools to clearly
outline their expectations.
Clean. Safe. Trusted.
With the reduction of pandemic restrictions, there is a palpable
excitement about returning to normal activities like dining out,
traveling, attending events and learning and working in person.
However, even as the pandemic slows, guests and employees may still
have fears about the cleanliness of public spaces.
"As we all do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and
prepare to resurrect a new normal, putting the proper tools,
products and training in place now will help reduce financial and
operational burdens in the future," adds Brown. "Showing your
employees and customers that you care about their health and safety
by earning a 3M Clean & Protect
Certified Badge, will help you to reopen – and stay open – with
confidence."
