Will This Be the Year Your Company Earns QualityPro Accreditation?
Apply today and begin using the hiring resources and national exams to hire and train your team this busy season. The hiring resources alone are valued at over $10,000—and that doesn’t include the time you’ll save. The application period for accreditation is 6 months, but we’re happy to extend that as long as you are still working on it. QualityPro will be hosting a webinar-style info session tomorrow, May 5 at 3pm. We’ll explain the process for earning and maintaining accreditation, what the service certifications like GreenPro are all about, and how your company will benefit from earning the mark of excellence in pest management. A lot has changed in the last 12 months and we’re excited to give you the tour. Can’t join tomorrow? I’ll send the video out to everyone who registers.

Heard From the HillLast year, EPA activated its Emerging Viral Pathogens policy to help minimize disruptions in the disinfectant supply chain by updating protocols, providing regulatory flexibility and providing pathways for expedited review of antimicrobial products. Currently more than 500 products are listed on EPA’s List N, for use against SAR-CoV-2, the pathogen that causes COVID-19. Based on recent guidance from CDC indicating that the risk of being infected with COVID-19 by touching contaminated surfaces is considered low, EPA is no longer prioritizing public health emergency requests or for new products intended for addressing surface contamination of SARS-CoV-2. EPA will no longer expedite new product registrations, emerging viral pathogen claims, SARS-CoV-2 claims, and electrostatic spraying directions for products intended to kill SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces.

Hometown Heroes is an initiative that our Colleagues in the U.S. and Canada participated in to give back to frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 108 teams and districts participated in the Hometown Heroes program, choosing organizations in their own communities to say thank you. The teams developed care packages, some of which included lunch for staff, and homemade cards from Colleagues' children. The teams impacted more than 8,100 people on the frontlines all across North America. | Archive | Printer Friendly | Send to a Friend | PestWorld Magazine Online | www.npmapestworld.org |
