Making Safer Choices Survey: Help Shape Safer Cleaning Practices in NY and PA

January 30, 2025

ISSA is seeking the cleaning industry’s expertise with a research project, Making Safer Choices, that ISSA has started through a partnership with the Penn State College of Medicine and City University of New York School of Medicine. As part of a US$1.2 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ISSA aims to drive the adoption of EPA-certified Safer Choice products across Pennsylvania and New York.

To begin this work, ISSA is seeking to connect with building service decision-makers across Pennsylvania and New York to participate in a brief survey that provides a high-level overview of their cleaning products and practices.

The information provided will be used to help develop tool kits and provide information about the proper cleaning of facilities, ultimately helping individuals and building management choose products that are safe for the built environment nationwide.

Professionals in New York and Pennsylvania who clean buildings and deliver or manufacture cleaning products can take the Making Safer Choices Survey. In addition, building and facility operators in New York and Pennsylvania also can take the survey.
