Safety & quality

Work procedures, equipment and quality controls

Cleaning in a live data center is about what you do not disturb as much as what you remove. These are the rules every job follows, whatever its size.

Work procedures

A site walkthrough before the first visit to agree scope, zones, access and restrictions
A written scope of work for each job, approved by your facility team
Work scheduled around your maintenance windows, change freezes and peak periods
Your site rules come first: badging, escorts, sign-in, photography and restricted areas

Equipment and materials

Filtered vacuums that capture fine particulate instead of exhausting it back into the room
Low-lint wipes and mops; no sweeping, blowing or aerosol sprays near equipment
Cleaning agents agreed with you in advance, with safety data sheets available on request
Minimal moisture anywhere near power, cabling or the subfloor

Around live equipment

Only exterior surfaces are cleaned; equipment interiors and energized parts are never touched
No cables, connections, labels or tiles moved without approval
Cabinets opened only with your permission and, where required, under escort
Anything unusual — damage, leaks, loose tiles, blocked airflow — reported, not fixed

Quality controls

A checklist for each zone, completed as the work is done
A service report after every visit: areas cleaned, observations and follow-ups
Before-and-after photos where your site policy allows them
A walkthrough and sign-off with your team at the end of each job

Documentation you can keep

After each visit you receive a service report: the date, the areas cleaned against the agreed scope, the methods used, observations such as damaged tiles or blocked perforations, and any follow-up items. Paperwork your site asks for before work starts, such as a method statement or a crew list for badging, is prepared with the scope.
