Our In-Depth Healthcare Cleaning Training Program
The ServiceMaster Chesapeake healthcare training series is built in compliance with The Joint Commission, CDC, and HIPAA standards, going well beyond surface-level janitorial instruction to cover the clinical and regulatory knowledge your facility requires.
The training program covers:
- Cleaning processes needed for sensitive patient-care areas
- Security and safety regulatory compliance, with a focus on blood-borne pathogen protocols
- Maintaining commonly identified problem areas throughout healthcare environments
- Infection control detailing universal precautions
- Quality assurance programs tied to healthcare environmental services standards
The Patient-Centered Cleaning Program follows best practices from six nationally recognized organizations: the Association for the Health Care Environment (AHE), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That alignment gives Glen Burnie healthcare facilities a cleaning program that supports regulatory review.
ServiceMaster Chesapeake employees assigned to a healthcare or medical facility must prove mastery at each level of our certification program before advancing. There are no shortcuts through the program.
Four-Level Healthcare Facility Certification
Our certification structure spans the full spectrum of healthcare environments. Each level covers the facility types and cleaning protocols specific to that setting, and staff must complete every prior level before taking on more complex environments.
Level 1: Doctor’s offices, medical professional buildings, behavioral health facilities (outpatient), medical education buildings, dentist’s offices, and commercial work.
Level 2: Ambulatory surgery centers, eye clinics, and dialysis centers. Processes include maintaining a sterile environment and terminal cleaning of an operating room.
Level 3: 24/7 facilities, including urgent care centers and emergency departments in hospitals. Processes include day cleaning and infectious waste handling.
Level 4: Full-service hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care, assisted-living, and inpatient behavioral health facilities.
ServiceMaster Chesapeake is certified for Levels 1 through 4. Terminal cleaning of an operating room and infectious waste handling rank among the most demanding protocols in healthcare environmental services. Our staff holds documented certification in both before any Level 2 or higher assignment.
