Health facilities can require specific credentials to be submitted and reviewed before approving a vendor account and allowing entry into the facility. Credentials can include things like background checks, proof of vaccinations, and proof of completed safety trainings.
Vendors are responsible for submitting all required credentials. Green Security's review team or the facility then reviews credentials and approves or declines them.
