The health and safety of our employees, client partners and communities is our highest priority at Janitronics’ Building Services. With our internal health taskforce and resources guided by science, we have developed a comprehensive janitorial response to these unprecedented times.
In April of 2021, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued new guidance related to cleaning of surfaces and the use of disinfectants. Janitronics has been following the best practices identified by the CDC since the beginning of the pandemic. We also have been an integral component of a Boston-based health security task force to provide guidance to our stakeholders. We continue to be in alignment with the CDC, where they note that washing hands and using sanitizer is a priority. The statement continues: "Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces can also reduce the risk of infection" in a building.
You can read about the new guidance at the CDC here. Key points are to clean and disinfect if:
A COVID-19 infected person is known to have been in the space
Low incidence of mask-wearing
Poor hand sanitation practices are observed
Space will be occupied by high-risk population (elderly, or pre-existing conditions)
We are in close communication with our clients to ensure we provide what they need for their building occupants. We have an array of technology and protocols to deploy, and the best trained staff to deliver cleaning services, so our clients' needs will be met. Janitronics continues to embrace the science and follow the best practices as defined by the CDC and other relevant parties. We are here for you during these trying times, and we are ready to help you.
Janitronics Building Services is devoted to providing clean and healthy working environments for our clients and partners. Click below to read our plan to provide both our employees and clients with science-focused training, technology and resources to deal with the challenges presented by COVID-19, both now and into the next normal.
With the recent approval of a COVID-19 vaccine, we have reached an important stage in the fight against the virus.
At Janitronics Building Services, we know our employees have many questions about vaccines, including when they will be eligible to receive a vaccine.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker recently announced the state’s approach to vaccine distribution, which prioritizes individuals and communities at highest risk. Vaccine distribution in Massachusetts will occur in a phased approach. We anticipate Janitronics employees will be able to participate in vaccination at phase two.
Please help slow the spread of COVID by following the preventative measures.Your health and the health of your loved ones depends on it.
Janitronics Building Services cares about the health of our employees and their families. Therefore, we are providing guidelines for any holiday gatherings.

The health and safety of our employees, client partners and communities is our highest priority at Janitronics’ Building Services. That is why we are constantly monitoring the situation and guidance for operations during COVID-19 and are ready to make needed updates. The most recent update to our Repopulation Plan includes information on Cleanrooms, Controlled Environments and CNC spaces. With our internal health taskforce and resources outside our organization, we continue to update our comprehensive janitorial response to these unprecedented times. This plan encompasses all aspects of janitorial operations, including cleaning, physical distancing, health screening, PPE, and effective health communication and now recommended protocols for our Life Science partners, guided by research and science to ensure the appropriate response.

Janitronics is prepared to support the re-opening of the Commonwealth. Governor Baker has announced the implementation of a Four Phase Plan (link here) to provide for a safe, cautious, and responsible approach to returning to business as usual.
On May 25th, lab and office spaces in Massachusetts will be allowed to re-open (however, Boston offices must wait until June 1st). The existing Stay at Home Advisory will shift to a Safer at Home Advisory to encourage people to continue to work from home if possible, and for at-risk populations (for instance, over 65 years of age) to continue to avoid public spaces like offices and retail businesses.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Janitronics Building Services works hard to educate and outfit our employees appropriately. We have contracted a company to make face coverings for our workforce helping to protect them and our clients as recommended by Local, State and Federal leaders. We have provided educational and timely updates to keep our employees aware, following all new guidelines as soon as they come out. We also continue to use technology to provide ongoing communications with our Managers and On-Site teams.
This week, we decided to share our most recent communication with you.
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve, Janitronics Building Services remains committed to protecting the health and safety of our community. We are complying with the mandated social distancing and non-essential service restriction. Nearly every part of our business remains operational as our teams work and collaborate remotely and in the properties we serve.
Local and state governments across the country are instituting increasingly stringent restrictions on gathering to flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19 throughout our communities. Janitronics Building Services continues to monitor the current reports and guidance from the CDC, WHO, and public health officials and implement their recommendations into our operations. With many of you instituting remote work policies within your organizations, we would like to provide updates on our continued operations in times of limited occupancy.
The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak continues to evolve and the World Health Organization (WHO) recently characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring this situation and is working with state and local public health partners to respond to this rapidly evolving public health threat. Janitronics Building Services COVID-19 Committee continues to monitor the current reports and guidance from public health officials and implement their recommendations into our operations.
Janitronics Building Services is following developments, especially here in Massachusetts, to stay ahead of this emerging public health situation. The MA Dept. of Public Health is providing daily updates, which includes corporate meetings and associated confirmed cases from late February. The MA Dept. of Public Health asserts, “The risk of COVID-19 to the general public in Massachusetts remains low at this time.”
