Sunbelt Rentals is participating in the American Rental Association's (ARA) Clean. Safe. Essential. program. The program is aimed at raising awareness of the rental industry's commitment to safety best practices related to COVID-19.
"Sunbelt Rentals is committed to the safety of our customers and employees and, from the outset of the pandemic, proactively introduced new safety and operational protocols," says Katy Lovering, vice president of operational excellence at Sunbelt Rentals. "There is so much uncertainty right now and we want to help provide peace of mind in any way we can. Safeguarding our people and our customers is our number one priority."
"We are pleased that Sunbelt Rentals has committed to the Clean. Safe. Essential. program and will be displaying the logo in each branch location," says Tom Doyle, ARA vice president, program development. "There are over 3,500-member rental locations participating in this program. Through its participation, Sunbelt Rentals is demonstrating to employees and customers their priority and commitment to safety."
By joining this program, Sunbelt Rentals branch locations receive a completion certificate as Clean. Safe. Essential. compliant and will have established uniform guidelines along with other rental companies in the industry. ARA previously reviewed Sunbelt's COVID-19 related safety and operational protocols and trainings and deemed them as compliant with the ARA's Clean. Safe. Essential. program requirements.
Sunbelt Rentals will continue to work with ARA to advance the program through industry awareness and sharing of best practices.
To date, Sunbelt Rentals has already established curbside pickup of rental equipment, which will be a permanent offering, and can be requested via an online reservation or by phone.
