Here at Riley Maintenance Systems, we’re always trying to educate customers about new products or techniques in the jan/san industry. We thought that showcasing a new product or technique each week would help broadcast our message to current and prospective end-users.

Constructed of fiber-glass, this mop handle is durable and built to last through any situation. This item is available in two different sizes: 54″ or 60″.

After the changes and training that we saw before December 1 2013, OSHA is now moving forward and using the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) in the United States for standardizing the labeling and classifications of chemical hazards. Employees were trained and now the emphasis is on the actual labeling of the chemicals, as well as the creation of new Safety Data Sheets (SDS) by the manufacturers. These changes must be completed no later than June 1, 2015; although it’s expected to come much earlier than that.
Scott Warrington of Cleaning and Maintenance Management magazine wrote a very informative article for those that are interested in these changes, and provides details of what to look for in the new labeling of their chemicals: Following Up On GHS — What’s Next?
If you have any questions about GHS or any of the changes that will be made, contact a representative from RMS! We have all gone through the training multiple times and will be happy to answer your questions or help you with the new documents that you must have on site for safety purposes.
Cleanlink.com recently conducted a study on how to prevent slip-and-fall accidents in the winter months. According to the study, job-related accidents occur 133% more from November to January. The majority of these accidents can be prevented by having a slip-and-fall checklist to ensure entrance ways are properly covered with ice melt and sufficient coverage of matting.
A few of these tips are commonly over-looked when it comes to having a proper slip-and-fall plan in place.
- Having a systematic plan for snow removal and an effective ice melt program. Using not enough ice melt or not properly clearing walk-ways will increase the likely hood of a slip-and-fall.
- Using signs to designate whether or not the floor is slippery, wet or soiled. In this case, having the proper signage to indicate problem areas will significantly lower the number of slip-and-falls.
- One of the most overlooked aspects of properly maintaining a facility to safely prevent slip-and-falls is to have sufficient matting. Having a proper matting system to: trap, hold, hide and store moisture, debris, and excess ice melt, will not only prevent slip-and-falls, but it will help keep your facilities floors looking healthy during the winter months.
If you have any questions in regards to having a proper matting system in place, ice melt, or questions about maintaining floors during winter, please contact a Riley Maintenance Systems representative today! We have the proper tools available to help prevent slip-and-falls and to keep your floors looking healthy throughout winter!
