State’s Green Cleaning Website Has Much to Offer
The New York State Office of General Services (OGS) has implemented the nation’s first Green Cleaning Law requiring that all schools procure and use environmentally sensitive cleaning and maintenance products.
In keeping with Governor David A. Paterson’s sustainability agenda, OGS has developed a revised Green Cleaning website for use by educational institutions and the general public. Its purpose is to offer facility managers, school administrators, educators, parents, and citizens a wealth of free information and tools to promote adoption of effective green cleaning practices, leading to healthier indoor environments.
In addition to offering such documents as Green Cleaning Guidelines, OGS Green Cleaning Product Lists, Frequently Asked Questions, and Best Practices, the revised website now contains the Program Toolkit. This Program Toolkit section provides information on the Five Steps to a Green Cleaning Program to help users initiate and implement an effective program covering all aspects of green cleaning. The Program Toolkit contains documents and templates that users can download and customize for their specific needs.
In order to access the Online Training Courses, you or your staff would need to register, which is easy to do. The Online Training Courses section provides voluntary training materials and allows users to take pre and posttests in the areas of: 1) Introduction to Green Cleaning and Green Cleaning Programs; 2) Basics of Green Cleaning; 3) Restroom Cleaning; 4) Floor Care and Maintenance (2 parts); 5) Carpet Care and Maintenance; and 6) Supervisory (Managing Change/Transition) This expanded training component complements the cleaning product information.
We are also working on a 7th course that will focus on cleaning for infectious disease control that a number of schools have told me that they would be very interested. That is another reason for folks to register so they not only can access the training components, but they will receive automatic notifications when a new course has been added or some other item of interest has been included.
You can also download a paper copy of each of the training courses by going into the Customizable Documents and Templates section, by hitting the drop down box for Training Course Materials and Quick Reference Cards and selecting the course you are interested in.
Supervisors are encouraged to consider the best method to offer the training to their employees. It can be provided so that staff take each course individually and work through the material by themselves, or a supervisor could meet with staff as a group and review the slides and take the pretests and posttests together. Supervisors are in the best position to determine how to utilize this information to most effectively meet their needs.

"The Office of General Services is pleased to announce the addition of the 8th online training course entitled, “Enhanced Green Cleaning Guidance to Reduce the Spread of Communicable Disease”. You can access this new course, as well as seven other online green cleaning courses, by visiting the New York State Green Cleaning website at https://greencleaning.ny.gov/Entry.asp
Developed in conjunction with the New York State Department of Health (DOH), we think that all of the training courses are worth viewing, but this specific course provides a great opportunity to get this information into the hands of the folks who can really benefit from it. As we all remember, buzzwords like MRSA and H1N1 were all too often mentioned and feared, with lots of questions and concerns and anxiety generated. We believe that this information will be tremendously helpful, whether taken as a full course on the Green Cleaning website, with a pretest, followed by the review of the slide show (with or without a downloaded copy of the manual), then the posttest, followed by the printing of a Certificate of Completion, or if a school or state agency chooses portions of it to create a uniform policy and procedures before a pandemic or disease outbreak occurs. The idea is to help schools and state agencies be proactive and not have to respond from a reactive and fear based position. There is also a Quick Reference Card and Frequently Asked Questions for this Enhanced Green Cleaning course.
Please feel free to share this information with any interested parties and remind them to register so they can also receive automated notifications. To register for updates visit https://greencleaning.ny.gov/Register.aspx Please let us know if you have any questions or to provide feedback directly to us on the new course. nysogsesu@ogs.state.ny.us "
