Why do we clean?
- Cleaning removes dust, dirt, grease, and other materials commonly found on the surfaces of manufacturing and production facilities.
- Normal work related vibrations in the facility can shake dust and debris loose, on to
the the production equipment and products beneath it. - Dirt and debris can become breeding grounds for mites, mold, bacteria, viruses, and other environmentally unfriendly employee conditions, creating poor indoor air quality. This, according to the EPA, is a leading environmental threat and cause of airborne sickness.
- Some combustible
dusts can become a fire hazard and are frequently identified during insurance, OSHA, and NFPA inspections, and can result infineable violation. - Customer site tours Aesthetic reasons, visible dirt collected on surfaces can make a workplace unattractive.
- Cleaning is required to prepare surfaces for painting or other maintenance work.
