	We feature Ecolab's™ family of hard floor care chemicals, including their non-skid floor finish. Our full service program includes burnishing and refinishing resilient tile floors, certainly to enhance the appearance and extend their useful life, but more importantly because properly maintained floor finish is more effectively cleaned and is more slip-resistant than is bare tile. We rely on Ecolab's "Management of Risk Exposure" (M. O. R. E.) program, including common-sense tips on prevention and response, to provide us and our customers the benefits of Ecolab's broad experience with slip and fall accidents. You may be interested in downloading a copy of Ecolab's Slip & Fall Safety survey. Your CBN representative will be happy to go over the results with you, offering suggestions of how to reduce your exposure to liability. Should you have a slip & fall incident at your facility, Ecolab has made available a Slip & Fall accident report form, which may help to limit liability by having a clear record of the incident. You may also link to Floor Safety Technical Data; a paper from Ecolab explaining static coefficient of friction (SCOF) and how it relates to floor safety and liability.
	Johnson Wax Professional™ products	We feature Johnson Wax Professional™ janitorial chemicals: • Environmentally and user friendly; contain few VOCs. • Excellent training and safety material. • Sourcing chemicals from a single manufacturer avoids the chance of unexpected reactions between chemicals. • The Johnson Wax “tech team” is available 24/7 for expert technical and safety advice.
	Training in Safety	Using training materials from Johnson’s and the Building Service Contractor’s Association International, we train our crews in: • chemical safety • usage and disposal • general job safety • OSHA guidelines
	OSHA compliance	As part of our periodic quality inspections, we check janitor closets to ensure compliance with OSHA standards on chemical labeling, cleanliness and general safety. As required by federal law, we provide you an MSDS book covering all the chemicals we use, so if an accident ever occurs, or OSHA pays you a visit, you will have the necessary safety information on hand to protect your employees and yourself. CBN’s HazCom program details a wide range of possible scenarios, including chemical labeling, usage, and handling rules and regs, MSDS requirements, all the way through procedures for handling blood borne pathogens.
	No aerosols	Squirt bottles and pump sprayers use no propellant; less chemical becomes airborne.
	No bleach or ammonia	Chlorine bleach and ammonia are each noxious of themselves; combined, they’re extremely poisonous.
	No scouring powder	Scouring powders are high pH detergents and ground pumice, often with bleach. Not good to breathe.
	Low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)	Eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea, and damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous system are among the noted health effects of VOC exposure. Many cause cancer in animals, some in humans.
