PHILADELPHIA- As restrictions ease throughout the country, the continued threat of COVID-19 requires businesses and organizations to focus more than ever on providing clean and safe environments for employees, clients, customers, patients and guests. To assist operators with their safe reopening and continued operation, Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), a global leader in food, facilities management, and uniforms, and Jefferson Health, a leading expert in public health, today announced the launch of EverSafe™OS, a workplace safety digital product that offers a suite of simple, streamlined tools and resources for businesses and organizations, to empower employees and customers with confidence in their safety.
This proprietary web-based service and mobile app, available in both the Android and Apple stores, is designed for small- and medium-sized businesses, such as restaurants and retailers, where reopening safely is a critical concern and additional guidance to do so is needed.

Gleason, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Quality Officer for Jefferson Health. “EverSafe OS was created to bring our combined expertise to bear for the many businesses that are seeking a safe pathway forward. We will help them navigate the journey toward their new normal.”
