The Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, recently completed the reaccreditation process for GBAC STAR Facility Accreditation from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), a Division of ISSA.
The iconic 20,000-seat sports arena, formerly known as Staples Center and home of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks, the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, and home to many awards shows and events, joined more than 150 facilities across the globe in renewing their GBAC STAR Facility Accreditation during the first three months of 2024.
The accreditation demonstrates a facility’s commitment to establishing and sustaining a high-performance cleaning and disinfection program to maintain a hygienic indoor environment supported by knowledgeable professionals trained to uphold the highest standards of building maintenance. In addition, GBAC STAR Accreditation aligns a facility’s rigorous infectious disease prevention protocols with the latest sustainability initiatives, ensuring a resilient, sustainable operation.
Dr Gavin Macgregor-Skinner, GBAC Senior Director, said: “Facilities of all types and sizes are renewing their GBAC STAR accreditation because it assures visitors and employees that these environments are clean and healthy. With GBAC STAR, you’re not only demonstrating your commitment to protecting your employees’ and customers’ health and wellbeing in a safe, responsible and sustainable way, but also shaping a healthier and safer world for everyone, everywhere.”
Dozens of facilities joined the Crypto.com Arena in successfully achieving GBAC STAR Facility Reaccreditation during the first quarter of 2024, reinforcing their commitment to keeping their staff, visitors and community safe, while many have also recently achieved their initial GBAC STAR Facility Accreditation.
