SUPPORTING OUR CLIENTS AND COMMUNITIES DURING COVID-19
TRC is working with metropolitan transit systems across the country in the fight against COVID-19 . We are conducting cleaning verification on hundreds of buses , subway stations and other transit assets as we support our clients in their response to this pandemic . We provide cleaning verification services to confirm that proper cleaning was conducted . We also work with cleaning crews to revise their procedures to comply with CDC guidelines and we train cleaning personnel on the new process and required PPE . We utilize TRC OneView , our digital GIS-enabled , time-stamped data management tool , to document cleaning activities , track program performance and mitigate the risk associated with third-party claims .
We are also supporting educational institutions as they prepare for students and teachers to return to school . TRC presented two webinars nationally to K-12 school leaders , administrators and school board members , as school systems across the country prepared for reopening last fall . Our panel of experts weighed in on COVID-19 and routes of transmission , how schools are preparing to reopen , the pros and cons of different cleaning methods , legal environmental and health / safety considerations for school reopening , how to put together the right plan for reopening schools and reimbursement options for additional COVID-19 related costs .
“ The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated how vulnerable society is to biological threats . TRC responded to the pandemic by developing cleaning , disinfection , and sampling and analytical protocols to support safe “ back-to-work ” programs . TRC continues to work to understand and categorize the threats that biological entities pose to society so that we will be better positioned to quickly and effectively address them in the future .” Dave Elam , Vice President and Project Director
