JaniTek understands that cleaning and disinfection are top of mind with the current pandemic. We know that peace of mind which comes from a properly cleaned facility for your team members and clients is paramount. We also know this starts with the person who actually performs the work.
Some may think cleaning is simple and requires little training of the janitor. While it certainly isn’t rocket surgery, I can assure you the slightest mistake in how cleaning products are used and handled can ruin a surface and create a safety risk for the cleaner and client.
We are officially 6 months into the COVID-19 pandemic and JaniTek is on the front lines of cleaning throughout the county. Not only are our team members completing the nightly cleaning and disinfecting of our client’s facilities, we have completed well over 200 COVID-19 Facility Decontamination Cleanings. Proper cleaning techniques and safe work practices have never been more important than now. We’d like to share with you the training our cleaning teams go through before they step foot in your building:
4 hours of classroom training (Includes video’s, manuals, and hands-on)
- Understanding that we clean to help our client’s meet their mission and objectives
- Hazardous Material and Hazardous Communication Standards
- Bloodborne Pathogen Standards
- Safe Cleaning Practices (PPE) and Job Safety Analysis
- Clients First
- Cleaning Processes
- General Housekeeping
- General Disinfecting
- Healthcare Facility Protocols (customized per client)
- Cleanroom Cleaning Protocols (as designated)
- Pandemic Cleaning Protocols
- Final Exam
Once they pass the final exam they are introduced to your facility by their experienced supervisor. This is where their O.J.T. begins and their cleaning skills are tested. We work with our technicians to match their skills with your facility type. Some of our team members thrive in distribution/industrial/manufacturing facility types, while others thrive in medical or general office settings. Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the match, and when we do, our clients and team members are happy! As you know happy clients plus happy team members equals success for all!
We continue our cleaners training experience with ongoing supervision and corrective coaching. Every 30 days for the first 3 months of employment, they come back to the classroom to review safety protocols and discuss any other cleaning process questions. Each month we hold tailgate safety meetings and currently we consistently review CDC guidelines for our industry.
As you can see, there’s more to the JaniTek Janitor than just cleaning. We hope you see them as an extension of your team helping you to meet your company’s goals and objectives. They are here to serve and know we earn your business every day!
