OCS Cleaning and Environmental Services has developed state-of-the-art software to give window cleaning team managers and staff instant access to a safer and more efficient way of working.

A new system that combines wi-fi with handheld computers (PDAs) has been developed to effectively do away with the traditional paper-based work bill or work instruction, allowing continuous review of work practices and performance by both operational management and health and safety teams.

Developed by a project team drawn from a variety of disciplines, the system sets work patterns and standards in a logical and structured way and is centred around pre-programmed health and safety practices built into the PDA software. These must be electronically acknowledged and signed off by each window cleaning team manager, acting as a continuous prompt.
