Industrial cleaning work in Ireland
Industrial work runs on the plant schedule rather than on yours: shutdowns, night shifts and weekends, agreed weeks in advance. It pays better per hour than domestic work and it is harder to get into, because sites ask for a method statement and a risk assessment before you get through the gate.
What comes up in this trade
- Production areas and walkways during planned shutdowns
- Degreasing of floors before machine scrubbing
- Extraction, ducting and high-level work
- Welfare areas and canteens on a fixed rota
What the work needs
- Method statement, risk assessment and site induction
- Safety footwear and PPE for the site you are on
