Medallion’s Cleaning for Health Program (CHP) combines the use of environmentally certified cleaning solutions, ergonomic tools, equipment, training, and processes to reduce the environmental footprint of operations and create a healthy work environment for everyone who uses our customers’ facilities.
Minimize Chemical Exposure
Our approach to cleaning minimizes the risk of chemical exposure for building occupants while reducing the impact of wastewater on the environment. We achieve these goals by using green-certified cleaning materials and products that meet or exceed EPA guidelines as well as the requirements of programs such as the USGBC LEED green building certification system or the WELL Building Standard®.
Our Facility Services team selects environmentally friendly products that do not emit high levels of VOCs and offer the highest percentage of post-consumer recycled content. In many cases, we also select products that come from rapidly renewable sources.
Resource Efficient Equipment
Cleaning tasks are performed as efficiently as possible using ergonomic tools and technologies that minimize the use of chemicals, water and energy.
Proactive Pollution Prevention
Green cleaning also reduces VOCs or volatile organic compounds which are known to have negative health effects to human health, including headaches, irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, dizziness, and memory impairment.
