Fresh off the heels of the inaugural GBAC Symposium on Air Considerations, the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), a Division of ISSA, and Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) have announced the formation of an educational working group focused on indoor air quality (IAQ) in the built environment.
While still in its developmental stages, the proposed working group will further expand the existing GBAC-ASL educational partnership announced in July. The purpose of the new GBAC-ASL educational group will be to focus on developing toolkits and education programs for cleaning professionals responsible for educational, offices, retail, and health care facilities. The two organizations anticipate influencing communities where health inequity and financial challenges are highest. Additional details of the collaboration are expected to be announced in the coming months.
“Providing timely and relevant knowledge and information to the industry on proper cleaning actions for improving indoor air quality is our number one priority,” said Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner, GBAC Senior Director. “Through our combined GBAC and ASL networks, we will work together to further ISSA’s mission of changing the way the world views cleaning.”
