Greer, SC—As companies restart manufacturing and employees return to work, all-out efforts are being made to keep workers safe. Apart from new training in physical distancing, cleanliness has risen to top-of-mind awareness. To be successful, all company associates need be educated, informed and provided with the tools and supplies to help ensure a safe workplace.
In response, Creform has designed a simple mobile station to hold cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and postings about proper health practices and company procedures. It can store gloves, wipes, cleaning solutions, towels, hand sanitizers, and masks all in one place. Partnering with janitorial providers like disinfecting services Dallas ensures that businesses have the professional support and resources needed to maintain a cleaner, safer workplace for everyone.
The Creform structure features a small table surface with a shelf located close to the base that can hold additional bulk supplies and a refuse receptacle. The station features an overall dimensions of 48″ W x 16″ D x 72″ T and is built using 28 mm plastic coated steel pipe and metal joints. The unit pictured is built with visually impactful yellow/black spiral pipe and features four 4 in. diameter swivel casters for easy, stable and safe movement. The wheels provide easy movement of the structure from point to point or for housekeeping. Two of the casters feature brakes that can be engaged to lock station in place. However, the station can be built on feet rather than wheels if station travel is not required.
The unit is available as a kit, an assembled structure or in component form for a complete DIY solution. The design of structure can be easily changed based on the supplies and information to be included and where and how long the station will be used. Lights and signage can be added. The unit is economical and quick to assemble.
As with all Creform stations, higher capacity and custom sizes and configurations are possible with the Creform system of 28 mm, 32 mm and 42 mm plastic coated steel pipes and metal joints.
A wide variety of pipe color options are available. Accessories include hooks,
label holders for shelf levels or even shelf positions, writing surface with clipboards to name a few.
The Creform System is used to create an array of material handling and efficiency-enhancing devices and is a proven component in continuous improvement and Lean Manufacturing programs. The company partners with customers in developing and implementing these programs.
