OUR NEWS AND UPDATES

July continues to bring challenges to the industry as we face the obstacle of managing COVID outbreaks among staff and the cleaning of facilities. Though the reopening of restaurants seemed positive, the sector has been battling terribly and is taking great loss. The reinstated alcohol ban brings another economic blow to the beverage sector.
Our thoughts, as always, are with you all in these tough times.

How to convey confidence after Covid-19. Checked by NSF™
With the COVID-19 pandemic yet to reach its infection peak in South Africa, many consumers are more likely to support businesses whose health and safety protocols they trust. As a business, how do you go about conveying your commitment to the consumer’s safety in this climate of uncertainty and suspicion?
One of the best ways to do this is undoubtedly having a third-party organisation with health and safety expertise appraise your protocols. 
In this upcoming webinar, the NSF Africa team will introduce you to the Checked by NSF™ programme and explain how you can go about getting your business or organisation ready to welcome customers back safely and successfully.

Join us as we chat to Sandy Deale of the National Contract Cleaners Association about the role of the organisation and the questions she would ask a cleaning contractor BEFORE you signing on the dotted line.
