What does industrial hygiene mean?

Industrial hygiene is about the practice of protecting and improving the health and safety of employees in the industrial workplace. This includes identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks such as dust, chemicals, and noise. Using good hygiene practices, like hand hygiene in the workplace and industrial skin protection, is essential for reducing health and safety risks while staying compliant.

Why industrial hygiene is important?

Industrial hygiene helps prevent diseases, injuries and hazards in the workplace and contributes to a safer, more productive work environment. It is therefore critical to health and safety risk management. Regular use of industrial hand soap dispensers and application of industrial non-slip floor mats reduce accidents and absenteeism in the workplace.

How do industrial hygiene practices relate to environmental programs?

By using eco-friendly hygiene products for industry and reducing waste in industrial workplaces, companies can maintain a high level of hygiene while minimizing environmental impact. In this way, Industrial hygiene practices can be linked to sustainability goals. Renting industrial hygiene equipment or opting for maintenance services also supports sustainability as well-maintained dispensers have a longer lifespan.

Are your products certified for safety standards?

Yes, our industrial hygiene products, including wall-mounted industrial soap dispensers, mats and industrial hygiene equipment, comply with strict safety standards. These standards ensure that our solutions promote safety and hygiene in industrial environments and meet your requirements for health and safety audits.

What are the key components of an industrial hygiene program?

An industrial hygiene program may include: Risk assessment: Identify risks and minimize them through workplace hygiene solutions. Hand hygiene in the workplace: Providing industrial soap dispensers and skin protection in the workplace to promote good hygiene. Floor safety: Using industrial floor mats to improve work posture and safety Sustainability: Using eco-friendly hygiene products and reducing waste in industrial workplaces. Regular maintenance: Ensuring compliance through industrial hygiene maintenance and quality checks.

Hygiene solutions for the industry sector

A clean, well-maintained workplace isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential for protecting your employees and keeping operations running smoothly and safely, which is a reason for using good hygiene practices.

Whether you work in large-scale manufacturing or crafts, hygiene challenges such as managing heavy cleaning needs or keeping dust and dirt under control are seen everywhere. That’s why CWS offers customized industrial hygiene services designed specifically for both industrial and craft environments. Together, we can create a workplace where health, safety and productivity flourish.

Industrial hygiene solutions

Entrances and exits

Dirt and moisture don't just look bad - they can also damage floors, pose safety risks and increase cleaning costs. In both industrial sites and craft businesses, there is a lot of walking and movement, which can spread dirt. So, the less dirt and dust that gets in, the better. Entrance areas are the first line of defense and therefore a hygiene priority. Our high-quality entrance mats keep dirt and moisture out and your business cleaner and safer. From industrial safety mats to mats with your company's logo on them, we’ve got you (well…your floors) covered.

Production and craft spaces

Whether in large-scale manufacturing or craft settings, your workspace must handle grease, dust, dirt and oil while not harming the health of your workers. We make tough cleaning easy. From robust industrial soap dispensers with abrasive to heavy-duty hand dryers; it's what you need for where really dirty hands are washed. For workplaces where there is a lot of standing, anti-fatigue mats can be the solution: these provide better work posture and less stress on joints and back. These industrial non slip floor mats are easy to clean.

Toilets and changing rooms

These areas are essential to employee well-being, but can easily become hygiene weak spots without proper attention. Toilet seat cleaners ensure that everyone can sit on the toilet seat with a safe feeling. Also consider a fragrance dispenser that neutralizes unwanted odors, such as sweat. Non-touch dispensers for soap and hand sanitizer ensure effortless operation and the highest form of hygiene. The various hand drying options we offer are finishing the job. Because hands in industry or craft get a lot to endure every day, we offer products for industrial skin protection that prevent irritation from frequent hand washing or exposure to harsh materials.

Break rooms and canteens

Whether it's a quick cup of coffee to recharge, a well-deserved break or a communal lunch, to keep everyone hygienic and healthy, there are a few things to pay extra attention to in these spaces. Many touched surfaces are a hotbed for germs and bacteria. Think door handles, tables and even the buttons of the microwave or coffee machine. A surface cleaner will help you clean these objects effortlessly. A disinfection dispenser also comes in useful in these areas, for that extra bit of hygiene before you prepare or eat your lunch. Keeping your shared spaces properly clean is not only good for hygiene, but also for the well-being of your employees. This helps reduce absenteeism in the workplace and increase productivity.

Common hygiene challenges in the industry and craft sector

Spread of dust, dirt and moisture
Frequent foor traffic or vehicles moving from outside to inside often cause dirt, dust and moisture to spread throughout work areas. This not only increases cleaning needs, but also causes safety risks.

Skin protection in the workplace
Exposure to oils, adhesives, paints or other industrial materials can lead to skin irritation and other health problems if proper protective products are not used, such as barrier creams or gentle, effective soaps.

Cross-contamination from shared tools and surfaces
Shared tools, workbenches and machinery in both craft and manufacturing industries can harbor germs, especially in areas where multiple workers handle the same items without regularly cleaning them.

Odor and air quality problems
Poor ventilation, foul odors in changing rooms or airborne dust particles can negatively affect workers' well-being and lead to long-term health problems.

Hygiene deficiencies in washrooms and locker rooms
Without regular cleaning and proper hygiene solutions, these areas can quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria. Improper waste disposal or insufficient availability of soap and sanitizer worsens the problem.
