LGE Community Credit Union, based in Cobb County, recently announced its plans to install Synexis Microbial Reduction Systems in its branch locations across metro Atlanta, set to be completed later this month.
The Synexis System being installed at each of LGE's branch locations uses the safe, patented Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP) technology to essentially create an immune system for a controlled environment to effectively reduce airborne and surface bacteria and viruses, (including coronavirus).
Synexis technology takes what is naturally in the environment, ambient oxygen and humidity (water molecules in gas form), to create Hydrogen Peroxide Gas (H2O2) or Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP). DHP becomes part of the environment and starts to safely eliminate pathogens as soon as they enter the branch location.
The continuous application of DHP within LGE's branches adds a new layer of protection against viruses, bacteria, and mold, 24/7/365 days out of the year. Additionally, the Synexis system is UL Certified to produce no ozone and works continuously without disruptions to member service.
LGE President and CEO Chris Leggett said, “Health and safety are crucial aspects of ensuring we can provide the best possible service to our members for their financial needs, especially amidst a global pandemic. Our leadership felt it was important to make a bold next step to ensure long-term health and safety within our physical locations. Having the Synexis technology within all of our branch locations allows our team to serve members in a much safer manner far beyond just wearing face masks, social distancing, and hand washing alone.”
Since early this year, LGE has actively implemented recommended safety measures like significantly increasing disinfecting efforts amongst its locations, providing cloth masks to employees, making disposable masks available to members, securely shifting to remote work as appropriate, and constantly monitoring new information as it becomes available. The implementation of Synexis Systems comes as the latest step among a list of many that the credit union has taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to its employees and its members.
