This Week's News
BICSc Annual Awards 2017 - the winners The British Institute of Cleaning Science announced the winners of its 2017 Annual Awards in a special presentation ceremony yesterday evening at Whittlebury Hall Hotel and Spa in Northamptonshire recently. Hosted by BBC Broadcaster, Sally Bundock and supported by headline sponsor Citation as well as individual category sponsors, the event saw almost 200 guests in attendance celebrating the achievements of companies and individuals across the cleaning industry. We have mail: A solution to fatbergs... In response to the recent article regarding the monster fatberg that has blocked London's sewerage system, I am writing to express concern that this was permitted to grow to this extent by the local authority and water network providers, as this scenario is completely preventable. Onsite wastewater treatment options are readily available to eliminate fats, oil and grease from wastewater before it enters the sewerage network, negating the risk of fatbergs entirely. Recent ISSA UK/IE member networking & education event first of its kind in UK ISSA recently held its member networking & education event hosted by member company Newell-Rubbermaid Commercial Products in Lichfield, Staffs. It was the first ISSA event of its kind for the cleaning & hygiene industry in the UK. Attended by delegates from the cleaning & support services, supplier, distributor, consultancy and manufacturing sectors, the event focused on the latest developments shaping commercial cleaning in the UK. Recycle Week beach litter research reveals recycling on the go has room for improvement Cromwell Polythene has undertaken a beach cleaning and litter surveying programme to mark Recycle Week (25 September - 1 October) and encourage maximum levels of recycling. Results indicate recycling on the go needs improvement. 'Recycling - It's Worth It!' is the message that was shared for Recycle Week, so a team of 24 volunteers from Cromwell Polythene, took to their local beach at Filey on the North Yorkshire coast to measure the impact of waste and champion community recycling best practice. Building One FS "first in Connecticut" to offer innovative germ-fighting electrostatic system Building One Facility Services says is the first company in Connecticut to buy the Clorox Total 360 System and that it has taken this step to add an additional layer of surface protection and create an even healthier environment for its clients. The system helps eliminate the bacteria, viruses and pathogens that can leave businesses and community members down for days. Brexit and Beyond: environmental principles to guide a sustainable future The UK's short-term focus must be on fully transposing the European Union's 'environmental acquis' into UK law to ensure continued environmental protection and provide much-needed post-Brexit certainty, says IEMA. Experts at the sustainability body, whose membership boasts 14,000 environment and sustainability professionals worldwide, say there is an immediate challenge to incorporate all existing environmental law into the UK statute books before the Brexit deadline. Soapbox: What is workforce management and why is it important to the Cleaning Industry? Lee Taylor, responsible for business development at Roma Systems, writes... "Workforce Management is a series of processes designed to help in the management of your staff. These processes are linked to HR, and are largely to do with the people who provide your service. This means your cleaning operatives. There are many ways to manage these processes but the most efficient way is to utilise a system and there are numerous software systems available to help you. Bite-sized learning for busy cleaning operatives Jangro, the UK & Ireland's largest network of independent janitorial suppliers, has enhanced its online training platform: the Learning Management Solution. It is now even more versatile and accessible, thanks to the introduction of new cleaning guide shorts, called Task Cards. As well as offering animated video shorts to help operatives train to perform a range of specific cleaning jobs, the task cards themselves are brief, highly visual documents containing step-by-step instructions for product usage and safety information. The first three task cards are available now to download from jangrolms.net and feature the modules: Ettore: Three glass cleaners working with one machine American company Ettore attended CMS for the first time, where it presented the EZ1Pro+ converter. Peter Jansen, who is responsible for development work at Ettore, says that ,"The EZ1Pro+ can convert municipal water into de-mineralised water.
Three people can work simultaneously with this stainless steel machine, one with the chemicals and the other two with the water."
