Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, is enabling companies to re-open for business
with the highest health and safety standards in place through its
innovative end-to-end health, safety and wellbeing program,
Intertek Protek.
Intertek Protek for facilities provides a range of audit,
training, inspection, verification and certification solutions to
identify and minimize environmental health risks, ensuring the
safety and well-being of facilities, employees and customers across
manufacturing, hotels, schools, restaurants, transport hubs, retail
and beyond. The service is part of Intertek’s new industry-agnostic
Protek program, the world’s first health, safety and wellbeing
assurance program for people, workplaces and public spaces.
As the world adjusts to a “new normal,” many people are looking
for assurance that places and services are safe and trustworthy.
Recent Intertek research shows that more than 70 percent of people
do not feel safe returning to their workplaces without
authenticated health and safety practices in place. Ninety-one
percent of respondents believe their employer should take extra
measures to protect employees. At the same time, only 24 percent of
respondents feel confident about visiting bars or restaurants once
restrictions are lifted; 27 percent feel confident about visiting
hotels; and 56 percent do not trust cinema and theater operators to
have sufficient health and safety practices in place.
Intertek Protek harnesses science-based processes and protocols
to help ensure the health and safety of facilities, from existing
buildings through to new construction projects, benefiting business
owners, employees and customers now and into the future. The
program offers a portfolio of facility health management solutions
applicable to manufacturing, office spaces, hotels, schools,
restaurants, transport hubs, retail, and more. Services in the
program include:
- Turnkey cleanliness and disinfection services (including
COVID-19)
- Review of indoor environmental quality
- Assessments of HVAC filtrations and controls
- Assessments of high-touch surfaces
- Social distancing modification consulting
- Personnel training and certification
Gavin Campbell, President and Global Business Line Lead of
