Maintaining an Impressive and Safe Working Environment for Employees

First impressions are vital to create a positive impact for employees and customers, ensuring the production facilities are impressive and your working environment is safe, these are critical factors in attracting new customers, recruiting and retaining staff.

Factory maintenance improves working conditions and leads to greater productivity; however, it can be disruptive and require frequent re-maintenance if the right products are not selected. Critical factors to consider are the level of durability required, will the work be undertaken during normal operating hours, time restrictions and the total applied costs. Durability can be categorised either as pedestrian to light vehicle traffic or more extreme heavy forklift traffic and chemical spillages. If the floor is to be maintained during normal operations, speed of drying and overcoating times as well as low odour are key considerations. Colour coding is also an important consideration to identify safe walkways, kan-ban zones, hazardous areas and process stations.

By selecting the right products, you can use colour to identify hazards and you can transform your production facilities and warehouses to help increase safety and efficiency for employees, as well as project a strong corporate image and brand identity.

 

What type of floor paint is right for you?

There are floor paints that are all designed for specific uses, applications and surfaces.
