Workplace Safety
Our company only hires staff with previous janitorial experience. Even so, every new hire is put through an extensive commercial cleaning training program. The program is designed to suit the needs of the particular job site, including knowledge of where all first-aid kits and eyewash stations are located.
Supervisors encourage employees to record all injuries that occur onsite. Potential hazards and precautions are to be noted and personal protection equipment is provided. We also teach new employees how to operate special equipment such as floor scrubbers and pressure washers.
At Evergreen Building Maintenance, when it comes to workplace safety, we adhere to the premise of being proactive rather than reactive. We work diligently to address workplace safety and security concerns before they become problems.
As part of this process, we employ assessment tools which have proven to be a valuable managerial tool for evaluating staff performance. These assessments are implemented weekly or monthly, depending on the type of contract in place. Grading is passed on to managers, while employees are provided with constructive feedback on how to continually improve building maintenance standards.
