As we start the New Year with a rollout of the Covid vaccine we find ourselves at the same time battling huge increases in the number of cases and fatalities. Recently a group of experts wrote an open letter calling on Canadian leaders to change course and update Covid- 19 guidelines and regulations. The main point of the letter was to reflect the science that Covid-19 spreads through inhaled aerosols.
These health professionals and scientists stated that the majority of Covid cases have been due to “airborne” transmission.
Airborne viruses like Covid- 19 can live on surfaces for an hour or two after leaving the body. Then, infections can be transmitted by touching the surface and rubbing your eyes, nose, or mouth.
A proven defense against viruses and other pathogens is to treat indoor areas with disinfectant fogging. Disinfectant fogging is a process of introducing a disinfecting aerosol into the environment and should be done by a professional who can ascertain the amount of moisture and chemical component to use for each unique environment.
Xi Safety is a professional safety company dedicated to keeping your environment free of dangerous and infectious pathogens through the process of disinfectant ULV fogging.
Xi uses a non-toxic disinfectant solution that is safe for all surfaces which can be applied in a fraction of the time that conventional cleaning can be accomplished.
We are ready to treat your indoor environment be it a commercial, retail, or a private residence.
Stay safe!
This is an open letter from hundreds of experts calling on Canadian leaders to change course.

We are a group of physicians, scientists, occupational health and safety experts, engineers and nursing professionals who have been following COVID-19 developments closely. We are deeply concerned by the recent increase in cases and hospitalizations across Canada. We urge you to update provincial COVID-19 guidelines, workplace regulations and public communication to reflect the science — COVID-19 spreads through inhaled aerosols.

But wait,…..why would I do that, a vaccine is on the way.
The recent announcements by both our elected officials and multiple drug companies raises many questions. When will a vaccine be approved? How long will it take to distribute? Is it going to be effective on those who have already had Covid 19? What if the virus mutates, and a host of other reasonable queries.. Although our community leaders have tried their best to formulate guidelines while imposing largely unenforceable rules, it is time for the public sector to take matters into their own hands.
One of the best defenses against Covid 19 is to treat indoor areas with disinfectant fogging. While there is still much to learn about Covid 19, there seems to be some agreement among health professionals that the majority of cases have been due to “airborne” transmission. Previously we thought that the majority of cases happened from surface contamination and while it is still important to treat surfaces the real issue is in the air. Disinfectant fogging solves both of these problems.
The main benefits of ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fogging are : the limited time it takes to effectively treat an environment, the effectiveness at which it removes the Covid 19 virus from the air and surfaces, and, depending on the product used, its relatively low impact on one’s business or home.
It is natural to be excited and hopeful about the news of many new potential vaccines on the horizon, but in the meantime we must protect ourselves, our clients and our loved ones from this terrible virus. The best way to achieve this is to get our indoor environments treated with ULV fogging from Xi Safety.
Stay safe and remain sensible.

Ozone has been a part of our world since the beginning of time. The ozone layer protects us from excess ozone. Every lightning storm produces more than 40 tons of ozone that sanitizes our world while the rain washes away the debris. During daylight hours, minor amounts of ozone happens everywhere on earth. As a standard part of nature, ozone is a Green and Sustainable compound that can be used to remediate environmental threats.
Xi Safety is now certified to harness the power of Ozone performing sanitization procedures for Covid 19 and other airborne hazards.
“Air Scrubbing” is a “touch free” natural process that sanitizes every surface of an enclosed area.
● Leaves no residue
● Requires no post treatment clean-up
● Sanitizes both Surface and Airborne contaminants
