Some questions to ask as a business onwer: Is your company prepared and equipped to fulfill all those requirements?

Most average janitorial companies and cleaning companies do not have the necessary plans, training, or products to help you in your time of need. Also they don't typically carry the proper level or types of insurance. When a company is performing a service outside the scope of their insurance, the liability falls on you as a business owner.
