Welcome to the September and October edition of INCLEAN magazine. As you’ll see, this is a bumper issue celebrating the 2024 ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo, which takes place in Sydney this September.
Inside, you’ll find our 2024 expo directory, with a detailed list of exhibitors, workshops and everything this year’s expo has to offer. There’s so much to look forward to — and I hope to meet many of you there. If you haven’t registered yet, click here to do so.
You’ll notice many of the speakers from the expo’s workshops and sessions pop up in this issue’s features, which include a deep dive into the challenges around procurement in an increasingly uncertain world and a discussion about the importance of psychosocial health in the workplace.
Looking ahead, we discuss planning for infection prevention at major events. With large gatherings back on the agenda, it’s essential to have solid plans in place to minimise health risks and ensure public safety.
As Australia weathers a tough winter for bugs and viruses, we examine the push towards clean air in schools — a vital step in protecting the health of young Australians and enhancing their learning environments.
This edition also features an inspiring profile on Lisa Michalson of Cleanstar. Lisa’s extraordinary journey into the cleaning industry is a testament to perseverance and innovation. From difficult beginnings to becoming a key player in the market, her story offers valuable insights and lessons for anyone in the industry.
At INCLEAN, we strive to capture your voices and stories in every edition. Whether it’s the latest product innovations or the challenges faced by those on the front lines, this magazine is a platform for sharing the experiences and expertise that drive our industry forward.
