Safety first
Site-specific PPE requirements and controlled chemical handling were part of the launch plan.

The challenge
Cleaning during a phased go-live
The first launch area needed service while construction continued elsewhere. Occupancy and access changed week by week, so the program had to scale with the site rather than assume a finished building and a fixed headcount.
Active construction meant shared access routes, changing work zones and strict PPE rules from day one.
Documented initial scope
- Seven temporary office trailers
- Four temporary washroom areas
- Break-room service as facilities came online
- Floor scrubbing in open phase-one racking rows
- PPE, WHMIS, SDS and chemical-storage controls
- Signed check sheets and time-stamped photo logs
How it was planned
Four parts of the launch plan
Each part was set out in writing before service began.
- 1
Scope the first launch area
Temporary offices, washrooms and break areas were listed with the open racking rows that needed floor care, so service could start before the full building was finished.
- 2
Set safety and access controls
Site-specific PPE, WHMIS training, SDS access and chemical-storage rules were confirmed before the first shift, alongside construction traffic and access limits.
- 3
Match equipment to the floor
Tennant ride-on and walk-behind scrubbers were arranged for the open racking aisles and the smaller areas around them.
- 4
Scale with the site
As occupancy and access changed week by week, the program grew with the building instead of assuming a finished facility and fixed headcount.
What made it work
Controls built in from the start
Equipment matched to the floor
Documented rentals included Tennant ride-on and walk-behind scrubbers for the Milton site.
A clear record of the work
Check sheets, photo records and itemized hours gave site leaders a clear completion record.
