As a growing number of organizations turn their attention to disinfection to guard against Covid-19, aviation disinfection and protection specialist David Allen Certified advises ensuring the use of the right products for aviation and making sure any such protection not only eliminates existing pathogens but protects against future ones.

 


The company backs a two-step process including cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and then adding a protectant that guards against bacteria, germs, and viruses for up to 30 days. Key to this, it states, is ensuring that the product is correct for aviation. “While there are a host of products that fit the bill that are EPA registered and FDA approved, not all products are aviation approved.&nbsp;It is important to choose the right products and the right recurrent protocol,” the company advised.

 


Founded in 2009 when the industry was grappling with the H1N1 pandemic, David Allen Certified&nbsp;has established a base of AOG ready response teams that provide direct services, but also provides assistance in choosing products, offers a licensed vendor program, and has a disinfection and protection training and certification program. The Ross Aviation FBO network signed on to the training and certification program this year.

 


With the&nbsp;Covid-19 pandemic,&nbsp;David Allen Certified is&nbsp;expanding&nbsp;its reach across other industries, most recently extending its services to&nbsp;motorsports-specific human performance training provider PitFit Training.
