With budgets tightening in a tough economy, it always helps to get something valuable at no cost, right? Longtime ASHES Platinum partner, Orkin Commercial Services, is offering Environmental Services professionals an opportunity to advance their learning and their progress toward the IOM's Six Aims with a complimentary ASHES membership.
The offer is simple. Healthcare facilities that become Orkin Gold Medal Protection for Health Care customers will receive a complimentary ASHES membership (paid for by Orkin Commercial Services) for the representative of their choice for as long as they are Gold Medal customers. Facilities that already have Orkin's Gold Medal Protection service are eligible, too.
Orkin has worked with ASHES for years to help guide Environmental Services professionals on best practices in healthcare pest management. In 2005, Orkin experts co-authored the ASHES Recommended Practice: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in healthcare facilities. This year, ASHES and Orkin launched www.HealthcarePestControl.com, an interactive online handbook with staff training resources and a self-assessment survey that ranks your pest management program against the recommendations of ASHES, Orkin and other experts.
Orkin's Gold Medal Protection for Health Care is a comprehensive pest management program based on the IPM recommendations of Health Care Without Harm, an international coalition of hospitals and healthcare systems dedicated to safe and ecologically sustainable healthcare, and consistent with the recommendations of ASHES and other advocates for healthcare best practices.
Orkin and ASHES want to help ASHES members be smarter, better informed and ready to succeed. To sign up and receive your free ASHES membership, visit www.orkincommercial.com or call 1-800-ORKIN NOW.
