by Shane Henson — November 8, 2013—Facilities managers and owners of restaurants and other commercial foodservice facilities now have even more reason to look into using Cintas Corporation’s floor care management program. The comprehensive system, designed to protect foodservice organizations from slips, trips and falls, recently earned National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) high-traction certification.
According to Cintas, a provider of facility solutions, its foodservice floor care management program is the first such program to meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for high traction. From chemicals to mats, the program is a systematic approach to high-traction floor care. Breaking the facility into zones, the program includes an audit and site survey of the current processes, which may result in a rejuvenative deep cleaning. The program also offers NFSI-certified mats, a daily maintenance program using color-coded tools by zone, mopping systems, floor agitation tools, and NFSI-certified floor care chemicals.
Jason’s Deli recently selected the program for use in 10 of its restaurants and is already seeing the benefits, as shown in a case study about the nationwide restaurant chain.
“Since the rollout of the Cintas floor care management program, we have experienced a reduction in floor-related incidents,” said Nic McLaughlin, director of facilities for Jason’s Deli. “We’ve found that combining a defined process with good tools, training, and follow-up has improved our floor safety, cleanliness, and appearance.”
