After a decade spent overseeing healthcare operations everywhere from remote Australia to the offshore oil platforms in the North Sea, Dr. Mark Parrish of International SOS<\/a> has found that every health crisis stems from a common problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou need to have a plan,\u201d Dr. Parrish says. \u201cAnd you need to be able to make decisions based on that plan\u2014quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That philosophy is one of the reasons that WeWork is working with Dr. Parrish and International SOS, a health and security services firm, to create comprehensive health and safety protocols to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in all of its locations. WeWork\u2019s health and safety efforts<\/a> were recently awarded<\/a> a Global Certificate of Conformity from Bureau Veritas<\/a>, an internationally recognized testing, inspection, and certification organization. We talked to Dr. Parrish about how International SOS is helping organizations prioritize safety during the pandemic, and what all building operators should know about best practices when it comes to COVID-19 prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n
