Safe manufacturing and plant cleans

With years of professional experience in the field, our technicians fully understand the importance of health and safety. Our aim is to create a clean, safe environment for our technicians and our clients at all times.

With a detailed cleaning schedule in place, your factory will be able to maximise productivity.
According to Manufacturing Tomorrow, there are 3 main ways to ensure a clean manufacturing plant for your workers and produce.

Keep workspaces organised

Ensuring all workstations are organised will have a positive impact on safety within the manufacturing plant. If all tools and equipment have a permanent place of storage, and workers have been trained to acknowledge this, it’s likely that productivity will increase.

By taking control of your factory, your employees will soon adopt a systematic mindset. Over time, you will see a huge change in efficiency and the level of pride and ownership that your employees take in their respective roles. 

Communicate with employees

Clear communication is vital for all businesses; even more so in workplaces involving potential hazards. In factory settings, it’s crucial that employers take the time to train their workers to understand the risks around them.

Forge Resources Group class the top 5 safety hazards in a manufacturing workplace as:

• Falls
• Machine guarding
• Powered industrial vehicles
• Electrical hazards
• Lockout

Communicating with your workers can significantly reduce the risk of workplace injuries, which in turn ensures your operations run smoothly at all times.

Stick to strict cleaning schedules

Manufacturing plants are home to a range of advanced tools and equipment. Such machinery must be taken care of in order to run safely, therefore a disciplined cleaning schedule is a necessity.

We’d recommend a daily wipe down of all equipment once a day, as well as a more thorough clean at least once or twice a month. To guarantee the deep clean is carried out to a high standard, a professional cleaning company is essential.

Coronavirus decontamination

Coronavirus poses a new threat to society, particularly those deemed as ‘key workers’ – such as factory workers. According to the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), the virus can remain active on hard surfaces for up to a week. Manufacturing plants rely on a huge number of tools, as well as large numbers of staff. If staff are required to move around the workplace and touch the same tools as others, the risk of germs and bacteria passing on from one person to another is fairly significant. As a result, further cleaning procedures are heavily advisable for the foreseeable future.

We offer a fast, effective treatment that destroys all current traces of the virus and creates a protective blanket over solid surfaces. Our solution is scientifically proven to be up to 4 times more effective than conventional cleaning methods, leaving your site clean and safe for all employees to enjoy. Our coronavirus decontamination service can last for up to 28 days, however, due to the hectic nature of manufacturing plants, we’d recommend a repeat service every 14 days.
