The last 12 months have been incredibly difficult and throughout this time we have released on services and individuals all over the world to help us get through it. As we all know, the pandemic was completely unprecedented and it gave us a challenge the likes of which we have never seen before. We have to give it up to all of those involved in the relief efforts, those in healthcare and many other services who stepped up to help us all. One particular industry which we have to recognize also is that of environmental services, companies like Diamond Environmental Services who have provided excellent support through this time, here is how they have been helping.
Moving Into Hospitals
One of the first things which we saw from this industry was the way in which they moved in to support the hospitals. There is no doubt that there were some testing times for hospitals during this time, and they required additional support with regards to maintaining a high level of hygiene as the pandemic took hold. Environmental services were able to use their skill and their expertise to support many hospitals during the pandemic.
Cleaning Streets
The world has continued to learn more and more about this virus as the months have rolled on and for a long period of time there was a really concerted effort to keep the streets clean. This was exactly where the environmental services community stepped up. Using their products, their knowledge and their experience, these companies took to the streets to ensure that public spaces, shop fronts and many other potential areas of contagion were kept clean and hygienic.
Sharing Information
The companies within this industry have a long history of working with germs, bacterias and pollutants. What we saw from so many of those companies was that they used this knowledge and shared it with the world, in order to better educate us on how we should go about things. In the beginning of the pandemic it was a very scary time and the truth is that we had little idea about how we should be looking after ourselves. Thanks to those companies within this particular industry, many people were able to get the education they needed to keep themselves safe.
Private Sector
One of the hardest hit industries during the pandemic was the leisure and tourism sector and there were many hotels and private rental companies which still had to operate. They relied heavily on the support from environmental services companies to keep the place clean and to a great level of hygiene. Because of the nature of the virus standard cleaners just didn’t have the products or the know-how to deliver this, which is why the work of companies within environmental services were so important.
This is certainly a sector which stepped up to the mark when things were looking bleak, and supported with so much during the pandemic.
