Passionate problem-solver and former Marine Joe Hill serves as the Senior Vice President at Decon7. We interviewed Joe to learn more about this key member of the team and his vision for the company’s future.

Although the number of meth labs in the U.S. is on the decline, every structure that has been used for that purpose has been contaminated. Property owners who discover a meth lab have a responsibility to keep occupants safe, either by condemning the building or providing meth remediation. Either path requires decontamination to protect construction workers, cleanup crews, future occupants, and anybody else who might come into contact with the space. 

Determining which sanitizer to use in a food and biosecurity facility or public space is an important decision. In addition to being compliant with EPA standards, the sanitizer must also be easy to use, proven to work in challenging environments, and, of course, safe and effective. As a product, D7 meets all of these requirements, and as a company, Decon7 Systems exceeds them by building long-term partnerships to protect your brand and other valuable resources.

When choosing cleaning products, one of the first steps is understanding the differences between cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants. If your goal is to eliminate both bacteria and viruses, you need a disinfectant. However, regardless of the product you choose, it needs to be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, people developed a newfound awareness of how disease spreads. There is now a better overall understanding of why it’s important to maintain good sanitation standards, especially in public or shared spaces. Although COVID-19 restrictions have loosened as vaccines roll out, there are some best practices we should continue to implement post-pandemic. 

D7 consists of a three-part formulation that must be accurately mixed before application. Because D7 can be applied in multiple ways—spray, foam, fog, and soak—many companies find it useful to have a dedicated mixer that allows them to dispense the mixed product directly into their applicator of choice. This approach offers flexibility for the many ways D7 can be used in a facility.

As Decon7 has rapidly expanded over the last couple years, our operational needs have also evolved. We’re excited to welcome our new Chief Financial Officer Brantley Walch aboard to continue steering us in the right fiscal direction. 

With more people returning to work as vaccines become readily available, it’s important that employers put measures in place to protect employee health. Employees want to feel confident that they are entering a safe workspace, and employers want to minimize risk as much as possible. Businesses can start by following CDC guidelines and implementing these tips.
