What are accreditation certificates?

What are accreditation certificates?

In commercial cleaning there are many accreditations a company can apply for.

These include:
Safe contractor 
CHAS 
ISO 9001
ISO 14001 
The British Institute of Cleaning Science

Normally these are given to large cleaning groups or companies who offer a wide range of services.

Some accreditations relate to health and safety policies or management procedures to ensure quality standards. The accreditations relating to cleaning methods are beneficial but like everything only as useful as the person using it. 

Core Services has successfully provided on-going training to new and existing staff for a number of years, without needing any official accreditations. Although it is something we would be open to in the future they do incur a membership and renewal cost. Of course, any certification is only as good as the user. Find out how we train our cleaners, and what we do if a cleaner doesn’t deliver, by reading How do we train our cleaning operatives?

Our policies relating to health and safety, quality management and our environmental commitment are all available to any interested persons on request.

How can I keep my workplace safe from the mutated corona virus? The mutated corona virus is far more contagious than the previous strain. To protect your workplace double down on your existing safety measures. Here’s what we are recommending to our manufacturing clients: Split your workplace into zones such as: • Shop floor • Office spaces • Kitchens • Toilets • Warehouse/storage Whenever moving into a different zone carry out these hygiene measures: • Wear a mask • Maintaining social distancing • Wash hands or change gloves Between each zone? Yes, between each zone. Even if it’s only a few feet from the shop floor to the office? Yes! To really keep your staff safe use cleaning products designed to attack enveloped viruses. And make sure your cleaning operatives are touchpoint cleaning trained. Our operatives have always been touchpoint trained since Core Services began in 2015. If you want a cleaning service you can count on you can call us during office hours on 01384 918 451. Or you can fill in the contact us form and we will get back to you within one working day.
