What We Don’t Teach You
5. Commercial Property Cleaning
Our initial three day Soft Wash training does not include training on commercial buildings. This is taught later on in your softwash systems journey.
Why do we not teach you “how to” clean different types of commercial property
- Insurance limits us to what we can teach “newbies”
- Health and Safety standards must be adhered to and we would want you to have other training in place before we take you out onto a live commercial building. As a minimum requirement we would need you to have the following training courses passed and certificates in date.
- We will help and guide you to get all of this training at the appropriate time. We just do not cover it on our initial training course.
1. CSCS (card) Safety Training
2. Working at Height Regulations Training
3. Asbestos Awareness Training
4. Manual Handling Training
5. COSHH Training
6. Safety Harness Training
7. IPAF Training
8. PASMA Training
9. SWS Certified Applicator Training
10. Top Gun School Training
Â
Once you are ready, we offer on site training to commercial jobs you need help with. There is a charge for this and costs vary depending upon location. We will need to charge you for travelling, hotel accommodation and time spent with you on site.
Â
Other requirements we insist upon are:
- Use of SoftWash Systems Equipment and Chemicals
- You provide all Risk Assessments and Method Statements
- You provide proof of public liability insurance
- You provide proof of employees liability insurance if applicable
- You provide a company health and safety policy
- You provide us with an employee training matrix
Do not worry about any of this if you don’t know now. Over time you will be taught everything you need to know about all of this stuff. It can seem almost like a never ending list of things to learn, but given time, you will become experienced and knowledgeable.
One step at a time...
Our three day introductory Discover SoftWash Course is ideal for beginners who need help to understand where to start.
