COVID-19 Sanitation Program
With the rise in Omicron cases, The Berg Group has decided to update and reinstate our jobsite/office cleaning and sanitation program. The Berg group has developed a specific cleaning and sanitation plan for all Job-sites and Office locations. The purpose of the this plan is to prevent the spread and transfer of the COVID-19 virus, its strands and other cold/flu illnesses. The Chart below outlines the specific areas to be cleaned, who’s responsible for those areas, methods of cleaning, frequency of cleaning and cleaning products required.
