When running a commercial facility, it’s imperative to keep your people safe and your building clean and up-to-code. But a simple floor mopping and occasional disinfection aren’t enough to keep environmental hazards from disrupting operations.
Outdoor issues, such as weather, moisture, and pests can wreak havoc on your siding and destroy the integrity of your building both inside and out. Mold, mildew, and other allergens will start to form indoors, which can hurt the lungs and other organs of employees while on the warehouse floor.
Implementing regular power washing services is the ideal solution to ensure mold, mildew, and other contaminants are properly and safely removed from every corner of the facility. A professional power washer will often be able to mitigate issues long before they are noticeable, keeping your facility in top shape and hazards at bay.
Installing modern window treatments to mitigate draft and water damage is also an effective way to ensure moisture and pests stay out of the facility. Air circulation is critical at a commercial building, but when hazards are able to creep in through windows and doors, the air can become contaminated. Now more than ever, air circulation and proper and disinfection are essential to employee and facility health and wellness. Proper air circulation and disinfection reduces the risk of headaches, asthma, the spread of coronavirus, and other long-term damage like cancer.
In some facilities, chemicals from equipment and day-to-day operations can be very detrimental to employee and facility health. By ingesting these contaminants, employees may experience coughing, vomiting, acute burns, and other long-term damage, like liver or lung issues. Chemicals will also corrode facility flooring and equipment and can be extremely flammable. Protect yourself and your people by adding proper signage, line striping, and maintenance cleaning.
Most commercial buildings, industrial warehouses, restaurants, and retail facilities must regularly maintain the risk of slips and trips.
Working with a contractor to install epoxy floor coatings is an excellent way to add slip resistance, keep floors cleaner, and ensure they’re easy to maintain. Epoxy and other floor coatings keep the aforementioned chemicals from immediately corroding the floors and make them more aesthetically pleasing, giving your facility an overall more professional, well-kept appearance. With the installation of industrial epoxy flooring, employees will be safer and healthier, adding to employee morale and reducing labor costs due to employee sick days, injury leave, and turnover.
