BioAssured Protects Osceola Heritage Park for Mecum Auction

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Osceola Heritage Park, Central Florida's Entertainment Complex, is the first entertainment venue in Central Florida to adopt the BioAssured disinfection process, thereby, achieving BioAssured Certification™, the gold standard in a multi-layered disinfection and continuous protection solution. As part of OHP's umbrella VenueShield program, the venue has taken a frontrunner position in adopting the most effective and cutting edge technologies to ensure the health and safety of clients and patrons.

The new technology is in place and the Mecum Auction, August 27-29 2020, marks the first event where it is being utilized. For Central Floridians dependent on conferences and events that support the local economy, this event marks a milestone in the reopening protocols of the region.

A team of industrial hygienists and technicians, provided by Massey Services, began treatments inside Osceola Heritage Park complex last Thursday, assessing and deploying the BioAssured multi-layered process. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) testing before and after the treatments confirmed a significant reduction in bioloading, which measures the presence of potentially harmful viral hosts and bacteria on surfaces that contribute to human transmission. ATP testing is part of the BioAssured Regulatory Compliance Program™ that helps venues hold their janitorial staff accountable, ensuring the efficacy of cleaning protocols for the ongoing safety for all guests and staff.

Traditional disinfectant products "kill" by way of chemical dehydration; they are meant to act quickly, but have no residual or long term protection. The moment people enter the space, the sanitized surfaces are vulnerable to recontamination. Fogging in a large convention space is similarly ineffective.

BioAssured uses established safe and effective disinfection processes, including an EPA Registered List N cleaner, disinfectant, sanitizer, virucide and fungicide which kills 99.99% of viruses, including H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) followed by the implementation of nano-technology on surfaces. A proprietary coating is applied which imparts a durable biostatic finish on surfaces, deactivating microorganisms by puncturing cell walls at the microscopic level. This nano-coating remains active for a minimum of 30 days. The BioAssured defense in-depth approach utilizes placement of ground-breaking technologies like The Healthe Entry™. This solution uses Healthe's UVC 222 technology to protect any entrance. Healthe 222™ is a frequency of light that kills up to 99.9%* of bacteria and viruses including coronaviruses (*depends on the length of UVC 222 exposure). Healthe 222™ is safe for occupied spaces and reduces the bio-load by decreasing the contaminants that enter the space. The Healthe Entry™ is being used in two locations at the Mecum venue.

Robb Larson, General Manager of Osceola Heritage Park/ASM Global said, "We selected the BioAssured Certification because we understood the need for a sustainable solution that will carry us beyond 2020. Our clients and guests come from all over the world and their safety is a top priority."
