SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS PREVENTING THE PROBLEM
When it comes to steering clear of slips, trips and falls in the workplace, it goes without saying that your choice of floorcare machines can seriously improve safety. Ricky Smith, the UK Field Sales Manager at Truvox International, offers some advice on this matter.
Many accidents can occur because staff or customers slip on wet floors or trip over trailing power leads, especially in these days of increasing daytime cleaning. It is therefore important to equip cleaning teams with machines that can reduce these risks.
Truvox International, based in Southampton, has concentrated on safety issues as a part of its research and development programme during the last decade, not only in the key area of electrical safety, but also on developing improved scrubber dryers that leave the floor dry after scrubbing and cordless rotary burnishers powered by rechargeable batteries that need no trailing power lead. This has obvious accident- prevention benefits, particularly where daytime cleaning is concerned.
The Truvox Multiwash
range of compact scrubber dryers, provide probably the greatest compactness, versatility and manoeuvrability on the scrubber dryer market. Each machine – there are models with 24cm, 34cm and 44cm cleaning widths – has twin contra-rotating brushes to wash, mop and scrub, and a rotating drum that removes water and dirt from the brushes, so that the machine leaves a floor clean and dry after just one pass in either direction. Due to its high brush pressure these models work well on non-slip safety flooring and tiles which have grout lines.
The Multiwash brushes are easily and quickly interchangeable for different floor surfaces, including carpets, or for use on escalators. There are even versions of the Multiwash 340 and Multiwash 440 with an additional four-litre solution tank and a pump to provide sprayed cleaning solution. Each Multiwash model is small enough and sufficiently manoeuvrable to

fit under desks, so achieves tremendous productivity, always leaving dry, safe floor behind it.
Then there is the Truvox Orbis UHS Cordless Burnisher, a battery- powered high- speed rotary burnisher/ polisher that achieves 1500rpm to maximise productivity and reduce polishing time. Delivering two hours of fast burnishing and brilliantly polished floors from a single charge, the low profile of the Orbis UHS Cordless Burnisher makes it especially suitable for polishing in height- limited areas. The on- board charging system makes charging overnight straightforward and efficient.
The sales teams at Truvox are well equipped in understanding the most suitable cleaning machines for the types of flooring that are commonly found in hospitals, supermarkets, office buildings and care
homes. Selecting the right equipment can increase the efficiency of your cleaning teams and ensure that it is done safely for both the operator and surrounding public. Truvox are happy to visit customer sites to review the type of flooring and demonstrate the equipment.
