Cleaning and chemicals
Signed off by whoever actually did it
Cleaning is the task most often recorded in bulk at the end of a week, by someone who was not there for most of it. Recording it against the equipment, as it happens, with the product used, turns a wall chart into a record.
The problem today
The wall chart tells you nothing
-
Ticked in bulk on Friday
A grid of initials filled in at the end of the week proves that somebody had a pen, not that an oven was cleaned on Tuesday.
-
The COSHH file is in the office
Safety information for a chemical is useless in a binder two floors away from the person about to use it.
-
No link to the equipment
Cleaning records and equipment records live in different places, so nobody can see when a specific unit was last properly done.
What it does
Against the equipment, with the product attached
-
Tasks by area and asset
Daily, weekly and deep-clean tasks assigned to the right area and the right piece of equipment, appearing for whoever is responsible.
-
The product on the task
Which chemical to use is part of the task, along with its safety warnings, shown to the person at the moment they need it.
-
Photo and note when it helps
Attach a picture to a completed clean. Useful for deep cleans, and useful for anybody checking afterwards.
-
A history per asset
Every clean attaches to the equipment, so you can see when a unit was last done and by whom, next to its readings and faults.
In practice
The chemical register that lives where the work is
Each site has a register of the cleaning products it actually uses: type, supplier, where it is stored, and its safety data sheet attached to the product rather than filed separately.
- Safety information reaches the person using the chemical
- Products connect to the cleaning tasks that specify them
- Each clean records which product was used on which equipment
- New starters are not relying on being told the right one
