THE PROBLEM

You hired an office cleaner to clean a plant. It went badly.

Wrong equipment. Wrong chemicals. Untrained crews. Silica exposure creeping up. Compliance gaps accumulating. Your EHS director is fighting the cleaning vendor instead of being helped by them.

OUR APPROACH

WHMIS-current. Confined-space certified. Exposure-protocol documented.

Industrial-specific crews with current certifications, multi-shift capable, hazmat-ready, silica and dust protocols built in. Procurement-platform compliant. Clean floor. Compliant plant.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries do you work in?+

Manufacturing (automotive, aerospace, metal fabrication, plastics), food and beverage processing, warehousing and distribution, rail and transit yards, heavy equipment facilities, cement and aggregate, chemical processing, pharmaceutical (GMP-adjacent cleaning). We do not do nuclear, biotech containment, or operating-room sterile environments — those need specialty vendors.

Are your crews WHMIS and confined-space certified?+

Yes. Every crew member is WHMIS 2015 current with documented training records. Confined-space certification required for any work inside tanks, silos, ductwork, pits, or sumps. Trade-specific certifications (e.g., TDG for transportation of hazmat) where required by scope.

Do you handle multi-shift facilities?+

Yes. 24/7 plants get 24/7 coverage. Our crews rotate through your shift schedule with dedicated site assignments. Backup cross-training so a substitute is always available.

What about silica and dust compliance?+

Engineered dust control built into every cleaning protocol at silica-exposure facilities. Documented exposure-limit protocols per provincial OHS thresholds (Quebec CNESST, Ontario MOL, BC WorkSafeBC). Training records and exposure logs maintained for regulatory audit.

Can you do hazmat and spill response?+

Yes. Chemical spill response with hazardous waste manifests and DOT-compliant disposal. Pollution liability coverage on file. Emergency dispatch 24/7 across our three regions.

Are you registered on ISNetworld and similar procurement platforms?+

Yes. ISNetworld, Avetta, ComplyWorks, PICS, and other industrial procurement platforms. Your procurement team can verify us before first engagement.

What about food-processing sanitation?+

Food-grade sanitation protocols with FSA / CFIA-aligned procedures. Food-safe chemical selection, sanitizer rotation, temperature-logged cleaning where required. We do NOT hold HACCP certification for your facility — that is your operation — but our cleaning aligns with your HACCP plan.

Ferrix is industrial-specific. WHMIS-current crews, confined-space certified, hazmat-ready, exposure protocols documented. Clean floor. Compliant plant.
