Escalators are very commonly seen in metro
cities, they are used in shopping malls, hospitals, movie theaters, hotels,
casinos, cruises, restaurants, airports, etc. The escalators give the facility
a majestic look, but it is equally difficult to maintain them. The greasy and
dirty escalators can put down the image of the facility and also cause
accidents. There are businesses which are reluctant on the cleaning of the
escalators due to the high amount of downtime. There are professional cleaning
services available in the United States who are trained and experienced to
carry out the cleaning in very less downtime. Various types of cleaning methods
are available in the market like dry ice blasting, abrasive blasting, soda
blasting, industrial painting, vacuum truck, steam blasting and hydro jetting. It
totally depends on the facility and the type of escalator cleaning methods to
be used.
Safety Training
In today’s competitive industry transferring knowledge and skill is
vital, hence safety training is conducted for employees who are on the field
carrying out the actual escalator cleaning. Without the right training it is
complicated to clean such huge escalators as lack of knowledge can cause harm
to the cleaners. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires
all the escalator cleaning companies to have initial training, depending on the
type of hazards which might occur. Also a regular training is mandatory from
professional qualified instructors for employees actually operating the tools.
It is usually 10 hour training for employees and a regular 30 hour training for
supervisors as laid out in OSHA guidelines. The safety training should be
written and documented by each organization as per OSHA. With all the training
and documented procedures an organization can increase its credibility and gain
clients.
