 What’s New

Directions: Write a composition about the uses of vacuum cleaner and floor
polisher? Use one whole sheet of paper in writing your answer.

What is It

Maintenance of cleaning equipment

A vacuum cleaner is a device that uses an air pump to create a

partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt usually from floors, and optional
from other surfaces as well. The dirt is collected by either a dust bag or a
cyclone for later disposal. Vacuum cleaners, which are used in homes as
well as in industry, exist in a variety sizes and models----small battery
operated handheld devices, domestic central vacuum cleaners, huge
stationary industrial appliances that can handle several hundred liters of
dust before being emptied, and self-propelled vacuum trucks for recovery of
large spills or removal of contaminated soil.

5
 A floor buffer is an electrical appliance that is use to clean and
maintain non-carpeted floors, such as hardwood, marble, tile or linoleum. It
is also known as a floor polisher or floor burnisher. It is a high speed floor
buffer with a pad it rotates at over 1,000 RPM (rotation per minute). It has a
large, round scrubbing pad spinning in a circle in one direction which is
powered by a small motor, usually directly over the center of the pad.

Polishing Machine: A polishing machine works to get back the lost

shine of your floor.

A floor scrubber is a floor cleaning device. It can be a simple tool

such as a floor mop or floor brush, or in the form of a walk-behind or a ride-
on machine to clean larger areas by injecting water with cleaning solution,
scrubbing, and lifting the reside off the floor.

6
 A carpet sweeper is a mechanical device for the cleaning of carpets.
They were popular before the introduction of the vacuum cleaner and have
been largely superseded by them.

Correct Maintenance of Tools and equipment

A further part of health and safety strategy is to maintain tools and
equipment regularly. This helps to identify safety problem before they
become a serious hazard. Only qualified people should carry out the
maintenance. They should keep records of their inspection.

Management
There is one important way to follow the rules and to manage the safe
used and maintenance of tools and equipment. This is to assess and control
the risks.
Employers should conduct risk assessment that cover the setting up, use
and maintenance of tools and equipment at work. The risk assessment
process must identify the environment in which workers will used the tools
and equipment, any local conditions that may affect safety, and how the
workers will actually used each item in practice.

Risk assessment such as these let employers know what orientation

and training they need to run. The assessment also show what information
employers must make available in the form of posters, user guides and
safety signs.

By limiting risk in this way, employers have some control over potential
hazards. Specifically, employers should:

 Place guards on machinery to protect fingers and limbs.

 Ensure that system controls have appropriate warning devices
 Insist staffs wear personal protective clothing as necessary.
 Arrange for maintenance when equipment is safely shutdown and not
in used.

7
General Rules in the Use of Cleaning Equipment

1. Check electrical appliances and equipment before use.

2. Handle equipment with care and make sure it does not bump on hard
surfaces.
3. Clean and store equipment in their custodial room immediately after
use.
4. Empty dust bags of dry vacuum cleaner before they overload and after
each use.
5. Follow manufacturers operating instructions.
6. Schedule a regular check-up of equipment to prevent serious
breakdown.
7. To avoid electric shock or short circuit, do not expose equipment to
rain or water.
