The onset of a new era
Before the arrival of COVID-19, cleaning machine helped warehouses prevent accidents, satisfy inspection standards, and keep operations moving. But with the onset of the pandemic, the implications of cleanliness became far more significant—and cleaning trends changed accordingly.
With business booming as a result of soaring e-commerce demand, safety could easily be compromised at busy facilities, and possibly beyond.
So, the objective was quickly clear: maintain unprecedented hygienic standards in order to protect employees (and those with whom they come into contact) from the risk of infection.
These days, a company’s standard cleaning program plays an important daily role. For example, as outlined by the UK Government’s article, “‘Working safely during COVID-19 in factories, plants and warehouses,” the terms “more enhanced cleaning” and “more frequent cleaning,” along with “cleaning procedures,” are named many times in each key section of the article’s recommendations. The United Nations’ guidance document, “Recommendations and preventive measures in response to COVID-19,” includes several pages that discuss the importance of enhanced, proactive cleaning processes.
Two trends in warehouse cleaning stand out in particular — a new focus on floorcare and a return to basics with dust management. These two areas present tremendous opportunity for improving worker well-being and safety on a facility-wide scale, as well as the ability to improve overall business efficiency and profitability.
