The Healthy and Safe Facility Handbook ─ School and College Edition ─ in both English and Spanish is available as a free download.

MERIDIAN, ID, US, January 28, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Healthy Facilities Institute University (HFI-U) has released The Healthy and Safe Facility Handbook ─ School and College Edition ─ in both English and Spanish. It is available as a free download on the
www.HealthyFacilityHandbook.com website.

“Since Spanish is the second largest spoken language globally after Mandarin Chinese, with English in third place, we wanted to make this information freely available to the large numbers of Spanish-speaking facility services personnel,” said Allen Rathey, principal of HFI-U. “No signup or information is needed to download the guide. Just visit the site, download the guide(s), read and apply the information.”

HFI-U is grateful for the assistance of William Mattos, of ASEO USA, for making this translation possible, and is indebted to Kaivac for sponsoring the original English edition.

1. Improve and protect the indoor environment at your facility
2. Provide better conditions for students, staff, faculty, and visitors
3. Advance learning outcomes by enhancing safety and health

The audience for this handbook is not technical but general. It is designed to make the complicated simple while still being accurate, thus empowering laypersons to understand, affect, and improve health and safety issues in schools and colleges.
