UGL Unicco Outlines Its Flu Preparedness and Business Continuity Plan

UGL Unicco, a subsidiary of United Group Limited (UGL), announced its UGL Unicco Flu Preparedness and Business Continuity Plan.

In a release, the Company noted that it is a set of procedures and cleaning services that are designed to help ensure the health and safety of customers' personnel, the public and UGL Unicco employees during flu events, up to and including pandemic events.

The program begins by designating a chain of command starting with a Business Continuity Manager and alternates for each account. It also calls for the implementation of emergency communications procedures that include hotlines, pre-arranged phone conferencing and pre-developed contact lists for customers, civil authorities and emergency responders.

The company said that it has defined new procedures and additional training for employees, and set clear guidelines on employee health and work attendance to minimize the spread of the H1N1 virus.

"This is the most ambitious cleaning program we have ever instituted," said UGL Unicco Vice President and General Manager Operations David Giamichael. "The updated and revised UGL Unicco Flu Preparedness and Business Continuity Plan supplements our customers' response programs by adding our expertise and efforts to the equation. It builds on our support of customers through natural disasters and our experience last spring helping commercial businesses, governmental agencies and universities respond to local H1N1 outbreaks."

UGL Unicco offers facilities maintenance, operations, cleaning, lighting and administrative/office services, as well as plant services in support of industrial operations.
