Hyatt Regency DFW announced today that it has achieved Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC) STAR™ accreditation – the gold standard for prepared facilities. Guided by Hyatt’s purpose, to care for people so they can be their best, Hyatt Regency DFW’s top priority for welcoming guests and colleagues is doing so with their health and wellbeing in mind. Under the guidance of GBAC, a Division of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, Hyatt Regency DFW has been recognized for implementing stringent protocols for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention on property.
GBAC STAR accreditation is part of Hyatt’s Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment, which builds on Hyatt’s existing rigorous safety and cleanliness protocols and includes requiring a GBAC STAR cleanliness and training accreditation at each Hyatt hotel globally, a trained Hygiene & Wellbeing Leader or team at all hotels, and a cross-functional panel of trusted medical and industry advisors—including experts from Cleveland Clinic—to help Hyatt fine-tune safety protocols and consider various aspects of the entire hotel experience.
“Hyatt was the first hospitality brand to commit to GBAC STAR accreditation earlier this year and Hyatt Regency DFW is proud to earn this recognition,” said Stephen D’Agostino, general manager, Hyatt Regency DFW. “Our team members received training as part of this process. In addition, Hyatt’s multi-layered Global Care and Cleanliness Commitment further enhances operational guidance and provides resources around colleague and guest safety and peace of mind.”
GBAC STAR offered Hyatt Regency DFW expert-led training and assessed its readiness for bio-risk situations. GBAC STAR validates that Hyatt Regency DFW implements best practices to prepare for, respond to and recover from outbreaks and pandemics.
To achieve GBAC STAR™ accreditation, Hyatt Regency DFW was required to demonstrate compliance with the program’s 20 core elements, which range from standard operating procedures and risk assessment strategies to personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness and response measures. Accreditation will be complemented with regular internal and third-party auditing. Learn more about GBAC STAR accreditation at http://www.gbac.org/star.
