Industrial Housekeeping Systems for Manufacturing and Industry
Maintaining a clean working environment is essential for health, safety, and operational efficiency. Nederman’s industrial housekeeping solutions are designed for UK manufacturers seeking to meet HSE guidelines, control workplace dust and debris, support continuous production, and protect worker health. Our vacuum and cleaning systems help keep facilities compliant with best practice standards, such as the HSE’s recommendations on dust control and COSHH regulations.
What Is Industrial Housekeeping?
Industrial housekeeping refers to the continuous cleaning and maintenance of production areas, machinery, and workspaces. This includes:
- Removal of settled dust and fine particulate
- Cleanup of debris, offcuts, and material waste
- Control of spillages (liquids, powders, oils)
- Cleaning of difficult-to-reach areas (overhead beams, ducts, corners)
A well-managed housekeeping programme helps manufacturers prevent fire hazards, avoid costly downtime, and create safer, more efficient workplaces.
