WHMIS MSDS
What do these mean and does your cleaning company work within these requirements?

WHMIS
This is an information system set up by the government, it is course taken by a number of our employees at State Building Maintenance Limited to ensure the health and safety of all our fellow employees and the companies we work for. This course is a legal requirement for companies of a certain size who work with cleaning materials. This course follows all Federal and Provincial regulations. A fee is paid and a course load is provided and then an exam is written. State Building Maintenance Limited has employees who have passed this course and are certified members.

MSDS
This stands for Material Safety Data Sheets. Companies that manufacture our cleaning solutions are required by law to maintain safety data sheets for all the products they produce and we use, whether it be Pledge or Lysol, just to name a few. We obtain the necessary data sheet for each product, we then assemble the sheets into a binder and they are left on the premises with our customers. These books are generally updated yearly or as needed when a new cleaning product is used on your premises.

It’s Construction Season

Posted on June 30, 2015 by - Office Cleaning

Summer 2015
Construction Season
TAR

As we head into the summer season we start to notice the dirt that this season brings into our offices.  Here in southern Ontario we jokingly say we have two seasons, winter and construction season.  Construction or building season brings along with it its own problems.  As roads and parking lots are paved some tarry gravel is regularly left behind that can easily attach to your shoes and then this is often rubbed off on your office carpeting and floors.  What we at State Building Maintenance can recommend is an exceptional TAR remover that will effectively rid your office of all traces of tar.

Besides picking up tarry gravel from newly paved areas we also bring in tiny particles of rock and sand on our footwear when walking on older, worn concrete pavements.  These tiny shards can etch our floors and make them look dull and dirty and can overtime shred our carpets.  A thorough daily sweeping and/or vacuuming is needed.

And of course any renovations done to offices/buildings create a certain amount of dust, whether it be your own office or a building down the street, no matter how careful a contractor is construction dust  seeps in everywhere.  It ends up putting a dirty film on your windows.  So as we recommend a thorough spring cleaning of your windows we also recommend an all over window cleaning when your offices are hit with the dust of summer construction.

Your office is the nerve centre for your business.  It is a showcase to the work you and your team do every day and it communicates an important message to your staff and visitors.  Every business has different cleaning needs and priorities and it is important to find a cleaning company that can work with you to develop an economical plan that produces results.

There are many common questions we ask when we first start working with a business.

What areas of the office have the most traffic?

You need to find a company with experience in helping with the Office and Commercial Cleaning needs of your business.  Also, you want to ensure that the cleaners have the ability and knowledge to clean all types of workplaces.  We work with you to develop a plan which takes into account your time frame, your cleaning product preferences and budget.  It is important to work with a cleaning company that understands your business, gives you peace of mind and also ensures that every cleaner entering your office has been properly screened.
