Correct Maintenance of Tools and Equipment
A further part of a health and safety strategy is to maintain tools and
equipment regularly. This helps to identify safety problems before they become a
serious hazard. Only qualified people should carry out the maintenance. They
should also keep records of their inspections
Management
There is one important way to follow the rules and to manage the safe use
and maintenance of tools and equipment. This is to assess and control the risks.
Employers should conduct Risk Assessments that cover the setting up, use and
maintenance of tools and equipment at work. The risk assessment process must
identify the environments in which workers will use the tools and equipment; any
local conditions that may affect safety; and how the workers will actually use each
item in practice.
Risk assessments such as these let employers know what orientation and
training they need to run. The assessments also show what information employers
must make available in the form of posters, user guides and Safety Signs. By
limiting risks in this way, employers have some control over potential hazards.
Specifically, employers should:
1. Check electrical appliances and equipment before use. Check if there are frayed
wires, loose plugs ad connections. Never use any appliance that is defective.
2. Handle equipment with care and make sure it does not bump on hard surfaces.
3. Clean and store equipment in their custodial room immediately after use.
4. Empty dust bags of dry vacuum cleaners before they overload and after each
use.
6. Schedule a regular check-up of equipment to prevent serious breakdown.
5. Follow manufacturer’s operating instruction.
7. To avoid electric shock or short circuit, do not expose equipment to rain or
water. Store them indoors to protect them from getting wet. Electrical
equipment should never be used in wet surfaces.
8
2. Plugs must be used correctly
3. Machine and socket must be switched off before plugging in or disconnecting
4. Check the cable and flexes if properly champed into plugs
5. Loose cable should lie behind the machine as close to the wall as possible and
passes over door handles if passing the doorway
Identify and use dry and wet cleaning agents/chemicals for a particular task
Chemicals Used in Dry Cleaning
When it comes to professional cloth cleaning, there are two options to choose
from, wet cleaning and dry cleaning. While wet cleaning is the conventional method
of cleaning clothes, dry cleaning is a little different. In the process of dry cleaning, a
chemical solvent is used in place of water to clean the clothes by professional
cleaners. Hence, the process is known as dry cleaning. Dry cleaning is generally
used for cleaning clothes that may get damaged due to the water and the tumbling
process of wet cleaning. The chemicals used in dry cleaning clean the clothes
without damaging them. So let us find out what chemicals are used in the process
of dry cleaning.
Dry cleaning uses no water, but relies on the use of toxic chemical liquid
solvents like Perchloroethylene (PERC) or Petroleums. Wet cleaning is a process
using no harsh chemicals or solvents, instead using cleaning products that are safe
enough to drink.
Perchloroethylene
Also known as Tetrachloroethylene or PERC, is a chemical solvent commonly
used by a majority of dry cleaners. It is known to have a strong odor. PERC is also
used as a paint stripper, automotive cleaner, and printing ink. It is a colorless
solvent made from carbon and chlorine and is known to evaporate quickly. The
reason for its extensive use is the aggressiveness of the solvent in removing stains.
Hydrocarbons
This solvent has a base of petroleum making it combustible in nature. Even
though hydrocarbon solvent is combustible in nature, it is not explosive when in
use nor does it possess any fire risk. Also, hydrocarbons are less aggressive
compared to PERC, which makes the cleaning process a little longer.
Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane
Also known as liquid silicone is a chemical that is gentle on clothes, and it
does not cause any kind of color loss during the cleaning process. The other good
thing about liquid silicone is that it is environment-friendly. The only reason that
not many dry cleaners use this solvent is that the cost of this chemical is twice as
much as the other solvents.
Glycol EthersGlycol Ethers
A group of chemical solvents which are environment-friendly. A specific type
of glycol ether, dipropylene glycol tertiary butyl ether (DPTB) is known to have a
level of solvency that is considered to be greater than PERC. For this very reason,
professional cleaners in Edmonton believe that DPTB could replace PERC
completely in the near future.

The above-mentioned chemicals are some of the common types used by
professional cleaners in Edmonton. While the use of a chemical solvent is necessary
for the dry cleaning process, choosing environment-friendly chemicals and non-
toxic dry cleaning is equally essential to do your bit towards the environment. So
for your nehttps://www.riverbendcleaners.com/chemicals-used-in-dry-cleaning/xt
dry cleaning, opt for eco-friendly professional cleaners in Edmonton.

A basic level of personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used by all
frontline custodial workers, no matter what job they are performing or what
chemical they are using. Protecting workers from cleaning chemicals and restroom
germs will keep them efficient and safe, says Schneringer. “Chemicals and PPE
help you get the job done faster — people are able to pay better attention to what
they’re doing if they can do it efficiently,” he says. All custodial employees should
be provided gloves, goggles and protective uniform specifications such as long
sleeves and rubber-soled safety shoes or shoe covers.
“OSHA regulations and your facility safety guidelines should determine the
minimum PPE an employee should use for specific tasks,” Harshman says. “If a
restroom has as biohazard inside, then additional PPE would be required, such as a
dust mask and a biohazard suit. Most companies have a written safety plan and
written task procedures for employees to follow when performing assigned duties.”
The bottom line is, most chemical-related injuries are preventable. No matter
what type of chemical a worker is using, accidents can happen, and PPE can and
does prevent injuries. “Even if you’re using a mild cleaner, you can still get
something splashed back into your eye, and it can still be irritating, so make sure
you’re safe from that,” Schneringer says. “No matter what kind of cleaning you’re
doing, you never know what lies on those surfaces you’re cleaning up, what sorts of
material are present, or whether that material has pathogens in it. PPE can be a
life-saver in that regard.”
Hands are a primary way that germs are transmitted, so remind workers to
wash their hands properly and to use gloves to protect themselves. “The staff
should be changing gloves and washing their hands thoroughly after cleaning each
restroom. Gloves can fail, and you don’t want to take those germs with you or
crosscontaminate another area of the building,” Mc Cannon says. Another way to
prevent cross-contamination is through color-coding when cleaning the restroom.
“We use a two-color system,” Harshman says. “Red towels are used to clean toilets
and urinals, and white towels are used to clean all other surfaces.”
“There’s the employee right-to-know training, where people learn about the
materials they’re using, recommended PPE, how to read the chemical safety data
sheet and understanding the product label. You’re going to have all that spelled
out,” Schneringer says. “The whole idea is, how do you make sure that the facility
11
can be kept as clean and safe as possible, and that employees can do their work as
safely and efficiently as possible?”
