Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Steamatic Australia was dedicated to supporting communities nationwide by providing essential decontamination services to safeguard public health. When infections were detected in schools, community centres, and other vital public spaces, our team was called upon to deliver rigorous cleaning and disinfection that met stringent infectious disease protocols. Through our swift and efficient response, these facilities could safely reopen and resume their critical services.
Rapid, Compliant Action in Essential Public Spaces
Steamatic Australia mobilised trained crews equipped with the latest disinfection technology and expertise in infection control. We understood the urgency: for schools and community areas to reopen safely, disinfection had to be thorough, compliant, and timely. By responding quickly, we helped essential spaces return to use while adhering to Australian Department of Health and Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) protocols. This meticulous approach allowed us to effectively minimise downtime, providing communities with safe, restored spaces when they needed them most.
Meeting Stringent Infectious Disease Control Protocols
Our commitment to compliance with stringent health protocols ensured the highest standard of service. The protocols required for returning essential services to operation included:
Infectious Disease Control: We used hospital-grade disinfectants and advanced techniques that targeted high-contact areas known to carry a high risk of viral transmission, such as door handles, desks, light switches, and washrooms. Our procedures followed the latest guidelines from Australia’s health authorities to meet rigorous disinfection standards.
Strict PPE Requirements: Steamatic’s technicians donned complete Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including masks, gloves, face shields, and protective suits. To avoid contamination, PPE was carefully removed, sanitised, or disposed of after each job, keeping our personnel and the environment safe.
Ventilation and Air Quality Management: Recognising the role of air quality in controlling virus spread, we ensured proper ventilation and utilised HEPA filtration systems in certain spaces to capture airborne particles, further supporting safe re-entry into facilities.
Isolation and Controlled Access: Affected areas were isolated and restricted to authorised personnel only before cleaning commenced. This controlled environment minimised exposure risks and allowed our teams to work efficiently without interruption.
Detailed Documentation and Certification: After each service, we provided comprehensive documentation detailing our cleaning processes, products used, and protocols followed. This attention to detail gave facility managers and the community confidence that the premises had been restored to safe, health-compliant conditions.
Keeping Our Teams and Communities Informed
To ensure continued adherence to evolving protocols, Steamatic’s technicians received regular training on the latest biohazard and infectious disease control methods. This ongoing education prepared us to tackle the demands of COVID-19 with the latest knowledge and techniques, reinforcing our commitment to safe and effective cleaning.
Supporting Safe Re-entry and Community Confidence
Our disinfection services were critical in helping communities safely return to schools, workplaces, and community centres. We worked closely with facility managers, not only to clean and disinfect but also to provide insights on maintaining hygienic spaces to support ongoing health and safety.
As an Australian-owned company with deep ties to the communities we serve, Steamatic Australia is proud to have been part of the frontline response during a time of great need. Our rapid response, adherence to infection-control protocols, and dedication to community safety helped restore essential spaces and protect public health.
