constantly put to good use as we tackle difficult jobs on a daily basis
helping us to evaluate the safest and most cost

Health and Safety
Mention the subject of Window Cleaning and concern will soon be raised regarding
Health and Safety. You will be
pleased to know that at Pacific Maintenance Services,
the Health and Safety of our employees comes top of the priority list. Given
the precarious situations in which they work, it is imperative that all
plant and equipment comprise a safe working environment
at all times. Pacific Maintenance Services
not only ensures this is the case through regular spot checks, but also
via the ongoing provision of information to Operatives. |
 |
Access Equipment
As some large Access Equipment
is highly complex and sophisticated in its operation, it is most important
that it carries the appropriate certification before being used on
site. |
|
Specialist Cleaning
Both today's environment and building development provides more and more
Specialist Cleaning requirements. As well as overcoming difficult access
problems, Pacific Maintenance Services
has constantly proved its ability in dealing with the maintenance of a vast
range of specialized finishes which are
used in today's high specification buildings. This encompasses work both
internally and externally, including elaborate atriums and building cladding. |
Mobile Teams
The nature of our industry demands that all window cleaning units must be
mobile. Pacific
Maintenance Services operates Mobile Units
with Wireless laptops available on a daily
basis. Although these teams will have regular patterns of work, such is
the flexible nature of our structure there is sufficient capacity to allow
them to respond to any urgent requests or emergencies. |
Static Operatives
Some sites are so large they demand full time operatives who are "static"
on site but not in the nature of their work! Carrying out their duties on
a fourth bridge basis, these Operatives will be totally dedicated
to one site and as such are instantly available to carry out any
changes to the specification that may be required. Of course if any assistance
is necessary particularly with large special cleans then our mobile units
will be on hand to assist.
|
Abseiling
Where all else fails in terms of gaining access to otherwise inaccessible
areas, then it is time to call in our Abseiling
Teams. Highly trained abseiling Operatives can soon provide the solution
to accessing areas other methods cannot reach. Available for special cleans
or as part of a routine cleaning operation, Mobil
Abseiling Operatives could be the answer to those difficult areas.
|
Safety Equipment
Most contracts will require personal Safety Equipment
to allow the work to be carried out effectively and safely. All such equipment
including safety harnesses, is checked on a daily
basis by the Foreman weekly by Divisional Management the equipment
is used is again part intensive training the Operatives will undergo to
ensure all PPE is used in the appropriate manner. |
Risk Assessment
Before any new contract can commence a Risk Assessment
and Method Statement are prepared, outlining
any potential hazards and detailing how the job will be carried out. This
information is passed to both Customer and Foreman of the Operating Team
to ensure the safe procedures are maintained.
|
Quality Control
On the completion of each job the Foreman will seek a satisfaction
note from the customer to indicate they are happy with the work carried
out. From time to time management will also carry out independent
Quality Checks which will be logged and made available to clients
at scheduled meetings. These procedures give our customers the assurance
of consistent quality and above all the knowledge that work is being carried
out safely.
|
Innovation
Strand is always looking for more cost effective
ways in which buildings can be cleaned and the Window Cleaning Division
is no exception. Currently we are investigating different methods and equipment
and implementing these procedures where appropriate. |
