Performance Industrial Makes Safety Our Top Priority

June 20, 2023

Since 1996, National Safety Month has been celebrated every June by the National Safety Council to spread awareness of safety hazards and unintentional injuries. It is a time to reflect on the working conditions around the country and how we can create a safer environment for those who work hard for honest pay. At Performance Industrial, we prioritize safety and seek to share our knowledge with others because safety is a mindset that unites all of us. Creating a culture of safety is more than just committing to practices and procedures on paper. It is a mindset, an innate drive, and an actionable responsibility to make a company a safe place to work. Putting safety first makes for a better work environment, higher morale, improved communication, and more efficient protocols. Safety comes first – every time, no matter what. This means that at Performance Industrial, safety is one of the foundational principles that drive our company culture and sets the expectations for how we act while we’re out in the field. Our company-wide investment in safety and injury prevention speaks to how we value the safety of each person in our company as well as those we partner with.

Building a Safety Culture

To safeguard an environment that focuses on the health and well-being of our employees and to reach our goal of zero accidents, a strong safety culture is imperative. Creating a safety culture requires everyone moving in the same direction and working as a team. To continually improve, we must never grow complacent in our drive to uphold the highest safety principles in our efforts to be the best of the best.

Share Knowledge

Building a strong safety culture yields many benefits and is important to the success of our company. Although safety cultures can be difficult to measure, their presence or lack thereof, is a factor easily sensed through observation of team member in their day-to-day duties. Our dedication to safety expands beyond the walls of our offices, we also seek to share our knowledge with others. Our team offers outside organizations interested in improving their safety standards the opportunity to partner with us on training programs and initiatives to achieve this goal. We believe that if we all set higher safety standards, then we can continuously improve the industry and protect even more people.

Reinforce Commitment to Safety

We reinforce our commitment to safety with ongoing training for employees, so all team members remain thoroughly versed. Even if they have completed some safety training, Performance Industrial always gives them more, enhancing their prior experience. We carry this through from our newest team members up to our more experienced and senior workers. This ensures that our safety program is up to date for everyone, and if time has passed since the previous training, and certain practices have been improved or changed, everyone will be brought up to speed with the same information. Our commitment to ensuring that all Performance Industrial employees have the same level of training and knowledge is one area that sets us apart from other companies.

Increase Safety to Reduce Accidents

Increasing safety to reduce accidents is not only a good economic goal, but it is a moral obligation for all of us. Performance Industrial invests in the proper safety training to effectively reduce the number of injuries that occur on our projects and while operating equipment. Our employees learn about practices and procedures such as lock-out tag-out procedures, fall protection, safe ladder usage, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) so they are better prepared to avoid injury on site. The safety of our personnel is our top priority. By committing to and ingraining safety within our company culture, safety is a priority for everyone each day. Now, more than ever, it is important to ensure every employee feels connected, secure, and, most importantly, safe in their role. Would you trust a company with a long history of mistreating employees or of workplace injuries? Would you feel confident partnering with such an organization and handing over your hard-earned money to them? The answer here is likely no. Since 1986, Performance Industrial has remained committed to quality in both on-the-job performance as well as employee development and training. Performance Industrial has managed hundreds of industrial cleanings safely and efficiently. A major contributor to the success of our industrial cleaning is our employees who respect safety. We would be more than happy to assist you in improving your safety standards!

Spring is the perfect time to refresh, revitalize, and deep clean your industrial facility. Over time, dust, grime, and airborne contaminants accumulate in overhead spaces, on ceiling tiles, windows, and throughout your work environment. A thorough industrial cleaning not only enhances your facility’s aesthetics but also promotes a healthier, safer, and more productive workplace. At Performance Industrial , we specialize in overhead cleaning, ceiling tile restoration, window cleaning, and deep industrial cleaning to help your business start the season fresh. Our professional services ensure your workspace is not just visually appealing but also compliant with safety and health standards. The Importance of Overhead Cleaning Many industrial spaces—such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and commercial buildings—feature high ceilings and overhead structures that collect dust and debris. Left unchecked, these accumulations can: Compromise air quality , as dust and contaminants circulate in the air Pose safety hazards , increasing the risk of fires and equipment malfunctions Affect compliance , since industries require routine cleaning to meet OSHA and other regulatory standards Our specialized overhead cleaning services remove these accumulations, ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more efficient workspace. Ceiling Tile Cleaning: A Cost-Effective Refresh Ceiling tiles often discolor over time due to dust, smoke, and moisture exposure. Instead of costly replacements, professional ceiling tile cleaning restores brightness, eliminates stains, and extends their lifespan. Benefits of Ceiling Tile Cleaning: Enhances indoor air quality by removing mold, mildew, and bacteria Improves lighting by reflecting more natural and artificial light Creates a cleaner, more inviting work environment Performance Industrial helps restore your ceiling tiles to their original brightness, saving time and money while improving your facility’s overall appearance. Crystal-Clear Windows for a Brighter Work Environment Dirty, streaked windows block natural light and diminish the professional appearance of your facility. Over time, environmental residue, dust, and smudges build up, affecting visibility, aesthetics, and even employee productivity. Our expert window cleaning services remove grime and streaks, allowing more sunlight to enter your facility and creating a brighter, more energized workspace. Why Clean Windows Matter: Boosts employee morale and productivity with more natural light Enhances your facility’s curb appeal for clients and visitors Reduces long-term maintenance costs by preventing glass damage Deep Industrial Cleaning: A Fresh Start for Spring Beyond overhead, ceiling tile, and window cleaning, a comprehensive industrial deep clean tackles: Floors & Walls – Removing grease, grime, and stains for a safer environment Machinery & Equipment – Eliminating dust buildup that can affect performance Hard-to-Reach Areas – Ensuring every part of your facility is thoroughly cleaned A clean industrial space improves workplace safety, enhances operational efficiency, and makes a lasting impression on employees, clients, and inspectors.

Why siena college upgraded to epoxy flooring a smarter alternative to tile
March 28, 2025
Performance Industrial was proud to partner with Siena College to enhance their campus by replacing outdated tile flooring with a modern, high-performance epoxy flooring system. Maintaining floors in high-traffic educational spaces can be costly and challenging, with constant wear and tear requiring frequent upkeep. While tile has long been a standard choice, its limitations led Siena College to seek a more durable, safer, and cost-effective alternative. Here’s why epoxy flooring emerged as the best solution. The Downside of Traditional Tile Flooring Despite its widespread use, tile flooring comes with significant drawbacks, especially in high-use environments like colleges. Hygiene Concerns – Tile grout lines trap dirt, moisture, and bacteria, making sanitation an ongoing challenge. Even with regular cleaning, these areas can harbor germs and allergens, which is especially problematic in educational settings. Increased Slip-and-Fall Risk – Tile surfaces become dangerously slick when wet, creating potential hazards for students, faculty, and staff. Cracks and Chips Under Stress – While tile is durable, it is still prone to cracking and chipping from constant foot traffic and the impact of dropped objects—issues commonly seen in college environments. Expensive and Time-Consuming Repairs – When tiles crack or loosen, repairs require removal and re-grouting, leading to disruption and significant maintenance costs. High Long-Term Costs – Although tile may seem like an economical choice at first, ongoing maintenance and replacement costs quickly add up, making it a less sustainable option over time. The Epoxy Flooring Advantage Recognizing these challenges, Siena College sought a seamless, long-lasting flooring solution—and epoxy flooring delivered. Seamless and Hygienic – Unlike tile, epoxy flooring is applied as a continuous surface, eliminating grout lines where bacteria and dirt can accumulate. This ensures a cleaner, healthier environment—ideal for schools. Slip-Resistant for Enhanced Safety – Customizable slip-resistant coatings reduce the risk of falls, improving safety for students, faculty, and staff. Extreme Durability – Designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and impact, epoxy flooring resists cracking, chipping, and wear over time. Superior Stain and Chemical Resistance – Spills are inevitable in any educational setting. Epoxy flooring’s non-porous, stain-resistant surface makes it easy to clean and maintain. Customizable and Cost-Effective – Epoxy flooring is available in a variety of colors, textures, and finishes, allowing Siena College to match its branding while benefiting from lower long-term maintenance costs. A Smarter, More Sustainable Flooring Solution By making the switch to epoxy flooring, Siena College has invested in a durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing flooring solution that meets the demands of a bustling educational environment. Performance Industrial is proud to provide expert craftsmanship and tailored flooring solutions that enhance both safety and longevity. Is your facility ready for an upgrade? Let Performance Industrial help you create a seamless, high-performance flooring system designed for durability and efficiency.
