Cleaner Floors, Less Water, No Fumes | Labor Management Partnership

What can your team do to "green" your workplace?

Floor-cleaning and refinishing is a necessary chore for the workplace and plays an important role in keeping workers and patients healthy. However, it can be a source of waste and cause injury. One EVS team looked to reduce both and invested in a technologically advanced floor-cleaning machine that used no chemicals and less water. They were able to cut their floor-cleaning costs in half—nearly $10,000—and did not have an injury associated with the new machines. The cleaning process also produced fewer fumes and took less time.
