On an industrial site, the lunch room and the toilets say a lot about how the business treats its people. When the crib room microwave is caked, the fridge smells and the amenities are filthy, morale drops and complaints go up the line.
Industrial sites also bring risks that office cleaners aren't used to. Forklifts, loading docks, racking and machinery all mean a cleaner has to be inducted, wear the right gear and know exactly where they can and can't go. A crew that wanders into a live work zone is a safety incident waiting to happen.
Then there's dust and grime. Busy floors, dock areas and shared walkways build up quickly, and if nobody looks after them, they become slip hazards and a poor look for visiting customers and auditors.
