Our exclusive CEBH Training & Certification Program
Our exclusive "Certified Eco Building Hygienist" program
provides certification for cleaning professionals is the first and ONLY professional CPD program of education for individual cleaning service workers!
Become a Certified Eco Building Hygienist™(CEBH) and be an important contributor to public and environmental health.
Completion of our 40-hour course of training, both theoretical and practical, provides students with a science - based approach to cleaning. The old traditional methods of cleaning that were often no more than moving dirt from one place to another, spraying harmful chemicals on surfaces and into the air are replaced with healthier and safer procedures that protect both the worker and building occupants while minimizing environmental pollution.
The course covers green cleaning standards, such as the Green Seal 42 Environmental Standard for Commercial and Institutional Cleaning Services(GS42), the Cleaning Industry Management Standard Green Build(CIMS GB), and the Green Cleaning requirements found in the LEED O&M Standard.
Successful completion of the course provides the student with a numbered document of certification as a Certified Eco Building Hygienist™, a laminated photo ID certification card and a CEBH logo badge.

ASK HOW WE CAN HELP YOU RESPOND TO THE WHITE HOUSE'S "CLEAN AIR IN BUILDINGS CHALLENGE"
For commercial building owners and other institutions we offer auditing services of your cleaning service that ensure compliance with GS-42 or LEED O&M. Using a GS-42 or CIMS GB certification checklist, we conduct a thorough inspection of your facilities before the auditor arrives to pave the way for a smooth certification process. And because LEED follows APPA guidelines, we've developed a scoring system that generates a full APPA report. We can assist with implementing green initiatives and LEED requirements. Both Green Seal and LEED Standards require continuous monitoring and documentation. Our monitoring services may be conducted monthly for the first year of performance and quarterly thereafter to maintain quality assurance and sustain successful green cleaning management.
Building owners, property managers and facility/environmental services staff rely on the Consulting Services offered by the Mercain Group to protect the health of their employees, building occupants and the environment through certification and public awareness.
