It's not worth cutting corners when it comes to cleaning as one company in Hertfordshire found out to their cost. An injured young man, unable to work for 2 months and £9,500 in fines and costs following the prosecution by the HSE (source: http://www.chtdata.com/2014/01/13/unsafe-work-leads-to-employee-accident-and-firm-being-fined-by-hse) was the result of DIY efforts to carry out high level cleaning. Just as well that the fall was only 3 metres otherwise it could have been far more serious.
For us, the biggest issue is staff safety. The 22-year old in question was hoisted up in a stillage using a fork lift truck. The stillage had no pallet rails, nor was it secured to the forks - from reading the news item, it appears that this was the company's standard procedure for high level cleaning.
At APT we work to stringent health and safety standards; on each and every job, our contract managers complete a thorough risk assessment prior to commencing the high level cleaning operation. Our staff are fully trained in line with best practices – IPAF, and IRATA CNnCS and CSCS and cleaning is carried out using safe equipment, specifically designed for the job in hand. The risk assessment we carry out does not just concern the safety of our staff, it also will ensure that your staff remain safe during the work.
Methods used for high level cleaning
There are a variety of different methods available for getting cleaning operatives safely to the right height.
Sometimes, a scaffolded platform is the best solution. This is perfect for situations where cleaning is tricky and delicate as there is a roomy and stable base from which to operate. A scaffolded platform, once assembled, can remain in place as long as required. If the operation is the high level cleaning and restoration of a stone or brick facade, the operatives can move freely around enabling them to move along progressively and comfortably without the need to reposition the platform. It can also be enclosed to keep any bad weather out whilst the work is in progress.
For internal jobs, such as cleaning the lighting, a small hydraulic platform is the ideal equipment to use. It can easily access a warehouse and can be small enough to be able to traverse the aisles between storage racks or machinery. It can be positioned and operated by a single person and gives a stable, if restricted, working platform. The size of such a unit makes it fast and economical to move on to the next part of the job.
For external high level cleaning such as cladding, we would use a more robust hydraulic platform. The cladding is cleaned in sections and the operator can control their position from the platform controls, making the whole operation very efficient.
Finally, there is rope access. Rope access techniques are sometimes the only way of gaining access for cleaning and maintenance, for example, where there is soft ground below the area to be cleaned or if there is insufficient space to erect scaffolding or a hydraulic platform. We work to strict guidelines with teams of IRATA trained rope access specialists carrying out the work for you.
