sure they are free of microorganisms.
Pure Space analyses all traffic and touchpoints,
identifies high-touch surfaces and tailors the
hygiene plan to the environment. That includes
using the right cleaning products to ensure that
high-touch areas remain safe for hours after they
have been disinfected
Pure Space uses ATP technology to scientifically
measure the outcome of cleaning. ATP stands for
adenosine triphosphate, a molecule found only in
and around living cells, and can therefore be used
to measure the concentration of microorganisms
and the level of hygiene. “With this technology,
we’re moving from a subjective assessment of
cleaning to an objective assessment, using a
proven scientific measurement,” Joseph Nazareth,
Head of ISS Group Health, Safety, and Quality
explains. This factual, evidence-based method
helps dispel any doubts that an area is clean and
ready for working.
The results of the ATP testing are made
available to employees, so they can see the scores
and know what’s happened in their area of the
building. This open communication helps to
reassure employees, enabling them to feel relaxed
and capable of achieving their purpose within
their work environment.
In addition to the ATP score, there are other
visible signs that help restore employees’
confidence in the safety of their workspace.
“Historically, cleaning has been something that
happened after employees had gone home,” says
Nazareth. “Pure Space happens during the day,
while people are at the office, so they can actually
see it being done.” This marked focus on hygiene
has the added benefit of encouraging employees to
modify their own behaviour, so that they contribute
to keeping the workplace safe for everyone.
While Pure Space has been developed to
address a very specific situation, Nazareth
believes that many of the components will live on
after the COVID-19 pandemic is over. “While many
of these programme elements are developed with
the coronavirus in mind, they are also related to a
larger discussion of how we create a healthier
work environment and how we can support healthier
building concepts. I believe we have the opportunity
to improve people’s well-being in a broader sense,
not just because they are healthier, but also because
they have a greater peace of mind.”

n Creating appropriate spatial separation
practices into operations through visual cues,
physical alterations, and other service
enhancements while maintaining efficient traffic
flow
n Implementing new and enhanced cleaning,
sanitation, and disinfecting procedures. This
includes new processes, equipment, and
cleaning agents, as well as careful assessment
of high-risk areas that require special attention
n Employing available and emerging technology
(such as AI, human-machine interface, infrared,
robotics contact tracing, and mobile solutions)
to further improve the safety and experience of
employees and customers
