Staying on top of sanitation inspections is a vital component of facility management, one that’s important for tenant experience and satisfaction, as well as brand reputation - it can be challenging, especially in larger buildings with high-traffic areas.
Improving sanitation inspections and documentation processes through digitization
Digital inspection tools assist in ensuring that all of your washrooms are thoroughly examined and cleaned. They provide an overview of inspection statuses so you always know what's going on with your facility's inspections, including those that are close to being due, due, late, or have problems. Cleaning personnel are also provided a detailed overview of their remaining locations, ensuring that none are overlooked. Cleaning personnel can receive on-the-spot information to ensure that they are attending to all the necessary items, decreasing the risk of something being missed or forgotten. Cleaning personnel can also include notes and pictures, and if any issues are found, the right people are automatically looped in, enabling speedy remediation.
As employees slowly return to the office, it’s critical that sanitation checks are recorded and they are well-organized and are easily accessible in order to demonstrate due diligence, in case any tenants ask about the facility’s sanitation practices or wants to see the history of checks.
