Industrial cleaning products play an essential role in removing oils, greases and production contaminants. However, traditional solvent-based cleaners can present significant health, safety and environmental challenges.
At Safetykleen, we are committed to providing cleaning solutions that deliver outstanding performance while supporting workplace safety, environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance.
Environmental Management and Continuous Improvement
Environmental performance is an important consideration for any industrial operation. To support continuous improvement, Safetykleen operates an Environmental Management System aligned with ISO 14001, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management.
This framework helps us continually assess and improve our environmental performance while working to minimise the impact of our operations.
Prioritising Health and Safety
Protecting the wellbeing of employees, customers and contractors is a core business objective.
All Safetykleen sites are certified to ISO 45001, the international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
This certification supports:
- Risk identification and control
- Employee training and awareness
- Continuous safety improvement
- Accident prevention initiatives
- Safe service delivery at customer sites
- Through regular training, monitoring and performance reviews, we continually work to reduce workplace risks and improve safety outcomes.
Reducing Dependence on Traditional Solvents
For many years, solvent-based cleaners were the industry standard for removing difficult contaminants. However, these products can contain high levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which may affect both human health and the environment.
Exposure to solvent vapours can present health risks, while VOC emissions contribute to air pollution and environmental degradation.
To address these concerns, Safetykleen has invested heavily in research and development to create effective alternatives.
Water-Based Cleaning Fluids
Our range of water-based cleaning solutions provides a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional solvents.
Key benefits include:
- VOC-free formulations
- Reduced fire risk
- Lower environmental impact
- Improved workplace safety
- Excellent cleaning performance across a wide range of applications
- Many of our products are also classified as non-hazardous, further reducing risks associated with handling and storage.
Product Compliance and Chemical Safety
All Safetykleen cleaning fluids are manufactured and managed in accordance with relevant chemical regulations, including:
- REACH requirements for the registration and safe management of chemicals
- CLP regulations governing classification, labelling and packaging
- Comprehensive Safety Data Sheet (SDS) requirements
- Every product undergoes a rigorous internal approval process to assess both safety and performance before being introduced into service.
Supporting Safer Workplaces
Providing safer chemistry is only part of the solution. Safetykleen also supports customers through:
- Risk assessments
- Equipment installation and commissioning
- Operator training
- Safe handling guidance
- Routine maintenance and servicing
- Professional waste collection and management
By combining compliant products, expert support and managed service delivery, we help customers reduce risk while achieving excellent cleaning results.
A Safer, More Sustainable Future
Modern parts cleaning should not require businesses to choose between performance, safety and compliance.
Through responsible product development, internationally recognised management systems and a fully managed service model, Safetykleen helps organisations achieve all three.
The result is a safer workplace, reduced environmental impact and greater confidence that cleaning operations remain fully compliant and fit for the future.
