GZA’s national COVID-19 response team, guided by a unique combination of epidemi - ologists, hazardous materials specialists, certified industrial hygienists, and toxicologists, employs an informed approach to supervise and direct the cleaning process, using vetted partners from the industrial cleaning industry and in con - formance with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-recommended means and methods. Our firm draws upon 40+ years of rigor - ous health and safety protocols tested and proven effective in various industrial hygiene, environmental remediation, and related services, and in our staff’s in-depth knowledge of regulatory, CDC, and EPA guidelines. We are offering three levels of cleaning from a basic maintenance cleaning of high-touch areas to thorough disinfection of areas occupied by someone who has been diag - nosed with COVID-19. The added value of GZA’s approach is the validation ca - pability – an innovative step developed by our team to give owners and their employees or customers the peace of mind to re-enter the space. GZA ap - plies an invisible fluorescent powder to strategic surfaces — unknown to the cleaning crew prior to cleaning—and then uses ultraviolet lights post-cleaning to evaluate com - pleteness and thoroughness of cleaning. We’re already working with our clients in this capacity at manufacturing sites, ware - house facilities, offices, and laboratories. GZA can also provide third- party evaluation or validation of cleaning companies hired directly by owners by reviewing their cleaning products, means and methods, and health and safety protocols. This third-par - ty evaluation can be validated in the same way as described above. We are proud to be of service during this time of need, to apply the skills of our talented and well-trained staff to quickly address an unprecedented health emergency, to help pro - tect the safety of our communi - ties, and to continue to be an economic contributor in these troubled times.
