HIQS Certifications
VALUE PROPOSITION
HIQS provides a set of standards, systems and protocols tailor-made to the hospitality, personal care, sport and recreation sectors. As the implementation of such standards and protocols is time consuming and can be challenging to document, HIQS has developed a comprehensive customisable management system. The respective facility is trained to apply HIQS in their establishment to comply with the standards and protocols set out.
The HIQS certification process requires the establishment is independently reviewed to audit to test compliance to the protocols and standards to highlight any risks detected regarding health, safety, hygiene and disinfection audit.
Certification provides the facility with a proof of compliance and reassures patrons that they are being cared for and are not exposed to unexpected risks because all safety and disinfection protocols are taken to protect clientele.
REPRESENTATIVE HIQS AGENTS
