Do your employees still have to use cleaners with hazard symbols? The cleaners are working well and you see no reason to change anything? The potential hazards seem to be under control through the use of PPE? So why change anything if there seems to be no need? Many companies still think this way. The justification for cleaners such as MEK, NMP, toluene, ethyl acetate, terpenes, etc. therefore still seems to exist, even though many long-established cleaners have been proven to be carcinogenic, for example. Certainly, 99 % companies have the will to protect their employees from hazards. However, taking a step into the unknown by switching to new cleaning agents requires courage and proactive action. This often fails, even if the intention is there. However, we can say from our own experience that there are many good reasons to actively take the step towards safe cleaners.
Many of our customers are now approaching us and are happy to have substituted the dangerous cleaners, as their employees have long since honoured the better working conditions. Even if the change was not accepted by everyone at first.
The advantages are obvious.
After the changeover, managers and decision-makers no longer have to justify the use of hazardous cleaners to auditors or superiors. Possible fines or sanctions, e.g. for exceeding workplace limits, which are no longer uncommon due to increasingly restrictive regulations, could also be avoided by customers using our cleaners. In addition to the aspect of occupational safety, the economic factor is therefore playing an increasingly important role in the decision in favour of the right cleaner. And what if your own customer emphasises the issue of occupational safety, but you are still using chemical maces and your customer finds out about it? In the end, it's things like this that can set you apart from the competition.
