Our hospital cleaners at the heart of the COVID-19 control program at the Douai & Valenciennes hospitals

Since the start of the health crisis, the teams at Onet Cleaning and Associated Services Valenciennes Santé, specialists in hospital cleaning, have been hard at work carrying out their missions at the Douai and Valenciennes hospitals. They are on the front line in the fight against Covid-19.

These seasoned biocleaning operatives work tirelessly to combat the spread of the virus. Despite the unprecedented context, they find their motivation and energy in building exceptional cohesion.

Disinfection and biocleaning, indispensable allies in the face of the pandemic

At the Valenciennes and Douai hospitals, nearly 150 agents, trained in "sensitive" areas, carry out essential tasks every day in the COVID-19 control chain. At the Douai hospital, Onet cleaners disinfect and bioclean the Covid boxes in the emergency department, as well as cleaning tertiary areas and bedrooms. At Valenciennes Hospital, Onet teams are deployed in all areas of the hospital, and are responsible for the Covid sectors. With their wealth of experience, these "risk zone" specialists are tireless in ensuring the cleanliness and disinfection of the hospital.

Agents trained in specific biocleaning know-how

In 2016, Onet Cleaning and Associated Services set up a healthcare training center near the Valenciennes hospital to professionalize staff working in hospitals. The first center of its kind, it enables staff to work outside the daily constraints of the hospital environment. This enables them to acquire the techniques of biocleaning and the gestures and behaviors needed to improve the quality of their services.

The entire staff of the Onet Cleaning and Associated Services Valenciennes Santé branch attended a 14-hour training course, given by a hygienist nurse, in this state-of-the-art training center. Combining theory and practice, it replicates an identical accommodation room and operating theatre, and offers a collaborative space for different training modes. It offers cutting-edge training in bionett nettoyage. Today, our staff put their know-how and knowledge to work every day at the Douai and Valenciennes hospitals, to ensure a safe, sanitary environment for all staff and patients.

Cohesion, sharing and solidarity 

Having been hard at work for months, the agents were rewarded for their involvement through the support they received. At the Valenciennes hospital, for example, several donors offered drinks and pastries to all hospital staff and cleaners. Caterers also offered meals that were shared with hospital staff. The General Manager of the CH came to meet the teams on site Onet Cleaning and Associated Services to encourage and support them.

 

A moment of relaxation and sharing between teams

In order to thank and show our appreciation to our field staff, the Valenciennes Health Agency, in the presence of the agency's managers, organized moments of relaxation and sharing between the teams in the two hospitals, by setting up breakfasts and pizza parties in compliance with hygiene rules!

"I would like to pay tribute to the professionalism and commitment of our teams during this difficult period. All our employees have done a tremendous job in the fight against this pandemic. Our profession has finally come out of the shadows and into the spotlight, and everyone, whether caregiver, patient or ordinary citizen, has become aware of the major importance of our activity.

Well done to them!" enthuses Vincent Kowalski, director of the Onet Cleaning and Associated Services Valenciennes Santé branch.

The Group's management salutes the expertise, commitment and cohesion of all our teams, who put their know-how and human qualities at the service of preserving everyone's health.
