\u00bfWhy was the WELL Health-Safety Rating created?<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The WELL Health-Safety Rating<\/strong> it is created out of the need to provide a centralised source and an institutional body to validate the efforts made by building owners and company CEOs in the face of the urgent COVID-19 scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the WELL Certification includes features that help prevent a range of respiratory diseases, including the spread of COVID-19<\/strong>, and although these measures are effective against most common germs, bacteria and fungi, obtaining full certification can be a task that requires a considerable outlay of time and effort. <\/span>This way the WELL Health-Safety Rating was created as a quick and efficient tool<\/strong>, which with the help of a specialised WELL consultant, focuses on the different actions that make it possible to guide, validate, recognise and scale efforts addressing current health and safety issues.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe WELL Health-Safety Rating seal has certified more than 6,750 spaces and over 65 million square metres. In addition, sports centres, theatres, hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, retail outlets, residential buildings and more have been certified.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
