As the holiday season approaches, commercial facilities of all kinds, from healthcare institutions to corporate campuses and private schools, face a familiar challenge: preparing for the surge. Increased foot traffic, extended hours, more frequent events, and expanded food service all place greater demand on your cleaning and facility operations. On top of that, many organizations bring on temporary staff, adjust floor plans to accommodate decorations, and loosen standard routines to “make room for the season.” These changes introduce sanitation blind spots and elevate your exposure to compliance risks.

But the reality is that OSHA and FDA requirements don’t take a holiday. In fact, regulatory agencies expect you to maintain, if not heighten, your safety, sanitation, and documentation protocols during high‑risk seasons. And with increased public scrutiny around health, hygiene, and workplace safety, keeping up with compliance during the holidays through commercial cleaning services is not just about checking boxes. It’s about protecting your people, your brand, and your liability.

Review how to prepare your facility for holiday surges while staying compliant with OSHA, FDA, and internal sanitation standards.
