UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

adminjubamonitor22/03/2019No tags



By Tunde Obileye

The use of any chemical product to perform maintenance or replacement activities
requires paying attention to the instructions for its use and understanding what
the product is meant to achieve. Facilities managers have the task of working
with their various maintenance teams to ensure only the most appropriate
chemical products are used.

There have been an increasing number of niche products aimed at meeting
specialist needs in the area of chemical supplies and maintenance. This is
clearly a positive development for the facilities management companies and their
clients, ensuring that the necessary chemicals exist to deal with the vast array
of cleaning requirements faced by individual sectors. Additionally, a key
element of any facilities management business agenda is health and safety, it
is, therefore, important that suitable chemicals are available to respond to
specialized cleaning tasks. There is however an inevitable flipside to the coin
where the potential pitfalls of stocking too many products and over-caution
towards health guidelines or issues cannot be ignored.

The abundance of chemical products in the market can make facilities manager’s
informed procurement choices a cumbersome task as the sheer volume of options
available is overwhelming. Without all the time and resources to research the
various chemical options available, facilities management companies or their
clients often opt for a set of products that can complicate cleaning solutions. 
They can find themselves stocking an excessive number of niche cleaning products
when in-fact one or two combined chemicals would do the job to a very high
standard. I have come across situations in which several types of chemical were
used for essentially very similar cleaning tasks when a balanced consideration
approach was all that was required to make a sound decision. Mixing the wrong
combination of chemicals can create harmful toxic gases such as mixing
acid-based toilet cleaners with products containing sodium hypochlorite (bleach)
and the risk of such mistakes occurring is multiplied when a business has
cultivated a build-up of products.

The most effective way for facilities managers to counter these problems is to
seek multi-purpose chemicals whenever possible, simplifying the range of
cleaning products used and consequently reducing associated health risks and
financial implications. In this case, the supplier can play a major part in
ensuring facilities managers avoid the implications of stocking too many
cleaning products. The suppliers can assist the facilities managers by
introducing the latest products that could benefit them and more importantly
reduce their existing set of cleaning solutions. The best informed facilities
managers recognize the importance of not only striking a balance between keeping
a wide range of chemicals without overlapping the tasks they are capable of
performing, but also of reviewing the balance on a regular basis to leave the
door open to the latest market products. What this means therefore is that
manufacturers and suppliers have become increasingly information access points
for facilities management companies seeking to stay ahead of their cleaning
processes. With knowledge about relevant health and safety information,
facilities managers are able to make an informed choice about the best cleaning
solutions for their clients. This helps to remove over-caution about the use of
products that may be best suited to a business.

Training key staff will also reduce the risks that may otherwise be associated
with the use of chemicals and eliminates the chance of wrongly mixing certain
products. Fewer products mean there is less risk assessment required and this
reduces the chance of staff overlooking important safety recommendations that
apply to chemicals. Training can then focus on a genuine understanding of each
product.

It is important that service providers promote a deeper understanding of what
chemical options are available so that the process they have in place for tasks
that involve the use of chemicals is simple, efficient and above all, designed
to achieve the desired results in line with their clients’ expectations.

BEGGING SALARIES VERSUS REGULAR PAYMENTS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

adminjubamonitor19/04/202218/04/2022
Poiya Isaac Lagu, (LLM). “Salary is not begged for, it’s a regular payment.” I
developed an interest in this topic when the cry of civil servants in the public
service has reached the apex, passing through tough times and days, for six
months or more without receiving their salaries, thinking about where their help
shall come from; they cannot afford to pay school fees for their children or
bring food in the house either affording medical bills to their family. Others
are forced to go on leave without pay to...

FROM EASTER TO POPE’S VISIT

adminjubamonitor19/04/202218/04/2022
By Guest Akol Arop Akol Odongo Odoyo Peace begins at home and to society and in
the same way, conflict as part of human life could start from home (individuals)
and then spread outside to affect others. This shows that the confusions that
South Sudan has been going through are first from personal concepts and then
escalated by those who don’t seek the truth out of rumors. Simply, an example
could be a hate speech or one picking a gun to kill someone he has an issue
with. When relatives...

PAY ATTENTION TO ABYEI ISSUES

adminjubamonitor19/04/202218/04/2022
The two sisterly countries which should handle the Abyei problems seem too busy
that they could not pay attention to the disputed land. Lives are perishing day
by day, but there is no quick solution to bring peaceful settlement. Sudan is
undergoing a serious political crisis which is characterized with demonstrations
by citizens demanding a civilian government to be installed while South Sudan,
on the other side, is also experiencing both political and communal conflicts
despite the peace process going on. This means the two governments are very busy
that...

MIXED REACTIONS ON RESUMPTION OF JONGLEI CANAL

adminjubamonitor18/04/202217/04/2022
By Malek Arol Dhieu (Guest)Since the Jonglei Canal's resumption was announced,
there has been an unusual argument between proposers and opposers about whether
or not the resumption would be allowed. However, the weighing scale seems to
drop in favor of the opposers because the repercussions of the canal outmaneuver
the benefits and so, opposers have abandoned singing other songs they used to
sing before, but ventured into singing the song of 'NO, NO for Jonglei Canal's
construction, giving a very concerning reason that "it jeopardizes our people's
lives". When the...
