04. Site Management - Cleaning Protocol

Establish and implement a regular cleaning protocol for all shared areas

Rationale: Implementing a cleaning, disinfecting, and maintenance policy that requires daily cleaning in common indoor areas and includes guidelines on safe cleaning and disinfectant products helps protect occupants from chemical exposure while ensuring effective disinfection of pathogens, contributing to reduced risk of contagious disease transmission.
