Mass Transit

In 2019, Americans took 9.9 billion trips on public transportation. The average American boards public transportation 34 million times each day. Since 1997, public transportation ridership has increased by 21%—a growth rate higher than the 19% increase in U.S. population. However, there are two million colony-forming units per square inch on the rails of most subway trains which transfers as much bacteria as shaking hands with 10,000 people. Thus, the suggested 6ft spacing between individuals is nearly impossible on crowded trains and buses during rush hour periods. This scenario can have fatal consequences amid the current Pandemic crisis. Bioguard America will help you take a proactive stance by developing an effective plan of action to reduce the presence of bacteria and germs on your transit system today.

Has someone occupying your commercial building become ill with COVID-19, or are you awaiting test results? The safest course of action is to consider the entire building contaminated and a potential risk to current occupants until you can perform the proper contact tracing. Whether your business has a confirmed COVID-19 outbreak or you simply want to be proactive to reduce the chance of a future outbreak upon reopening, the onus is on you to keep your clients and employees safe from the deadly COVID-19. In fact, General Duty Clause, 29 USC 654, section 5(a)(1) requires that employers protect their employees and clients from recognized hazards.

Bioguard America will help you create a proactive approach to limit your potential financial and legal exposure.
