Ride-on scrubber for warehouse floors
Hello all, we've started to use a floor scrubber/squeegee machine on our warehouse floors:
Tennant T1581 Ride On Scrubber From PowerVac - YouTube,
I'm sure we'll need to maintain an SDS for the substance used to fill it. Aside from that, do we need to train people on any more than this video linked above? I suspect we do, but is a full-on work instruction or SOP needed for its operation?
We are regulated in the United States under 21 CFR Part 111 and 117 and we have SQF and NSF GMP certifications.
Thank you,
Matthew
While these machines don't come with certificates like a reach truck, I would treat them similarly.
Make sure that the people who use this machine are trained.
- They should know what each light means.
- They should be familiar with the "traffic" rules in your warehouse so they don't collide with anyone else.
- They should be aware of the emergency procedure of what to do if an accident happens with this machine.
Make sure there is a SOP for the handling of this machine and that there is a list of properly trained people who are qualified to ride this thing.
That's the only way to ensure safety for everyone on the floor.
