UK venues invited to seek new Covid safety accreditation

The Well Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified accreditation system for new and existing venues – including hotels and resorts.

Developed by the International Well Building Institute (IWBI), the rating is based on five aspects – cleaning and sanitation; emergency preparedness; health service resources; air and water quality management; and stakeholder engagement and communication.

An advisory group, which includes representatives from a wide range of hotel, resort and property firms including the likes of Mandarin Oriental and Wyndham, contributed to the development of the measures, along with several medical experts, to establish best practice.
