Spartan Introduces Upgraded Cleaning Training System
Spartan Chemical Company, Inc. introduces a complete upgrade for its CleanCheck Training System, with new manuals, videos and procedure cards in both English and Spanish. The training system offers modules for training janitorial staff on how to clean restrooms, carpets and hard floors; it also has a safety module, imperative in every work environment.
The most noticeable training system improvement is the availability of an interactive, password protected online system. With online access users can view all manuals, cards and videos, print materials and complete tests to receive certification. For the end-user administrator (facility manager), logs of employee training and testing are available. This online system can assist users seeking CIMS certification, as it meets the requirement for the CIMS-GB Standard.
CleanCheck manuals have been upgraded with new photos and layout to allow for a better understanding of the processes. To aid in the teaching process, all videos have been recorded with professional voice over. For hands-on training, matching cards are available to show procedures step-by-step with color photos and simple instructions. Laminated cards can be ordered with a dry erase pen to "check" steps as they are completed, thus reinforcing the proper procedures.
Spartan Chemical Company, Inc., with corporate headquarters, manufacturing and distribution facilities in Maumee, Ohio, is an international manufacturer of chemical specialty maintenance products.
