Green Security Onboarding - Level 2A & 3 Contractors 

Beginning Monday, June 1 we will be transitioning to Green Security for credentialing of Level 2A contractors that provide essential support services, including housekeeping, maintenance, food services, parking, construction, equipment installation, and others, and do not require access to sterile areas. 

Contractors requiring access to UConn Health facilities must be registered and maintain approved credential status and obtain a UConn Health ID badge from UConn Health Administrative Support Services.

 

Green Security has been managing the credentialing of Level 3 clinical contractors, who require access to sterile procedure areas in the OR Surgery, Cardiac Cath Lab, EP Lab, Interventional Radiology, and the UConn Health Surgery Center. This process includes conducting background checks, verifying immunizations, and ensuring the completion of necessary training.
