Cleanroom Cleaning

Because contaminants in a cleanroom are often invisible to the naked eye, thorough cleaning of a critical manufacturing area requires highly specialised training and careful attention to detail. Effective contamination control means removing existing contaminants without inadvertently introducing new ones either from the cleaning personnel or from the cleaning supplies. BACS Contamination Control services are unequalled by other cleanroom cleaners or general janitorial companies.

Specialised Training

Each BACS Contamination Control service person receives specialised training starting with an understanding of what a cleanroom is, how it is classified and how it operates. Emphasis is placed on the importance of adhering to the specific cleanroom protocols and standard operating procedures. The BACS Cleanroom Training Program also focuses on:

Where contaminants come from
Contamination control
Effective cleaning technique
Proper cleanroom gowning demonstration
Differentiating between cleanroom products
Work place and general safety - OH&S compliance

Security-Cleared, Trained Team

Besides BACS extensive knowledge and experience of cleaning cleanrooms, BACS also has extensive knowledge of its employees. Each BACS employee has passed a comprehensive security clearance conducted by the Australian Federal Police. In addition to the dedicated service person assigned to your site, other BACS service personnel are scheduled as back-ups to provide uninterrupted execution of your cleaning requirements.

Individual Consultation

BACS conducts a thorough evaluation of your facility and suggests preventative measures to reduce contamination and eliminate unnecessary cleaning time and expenses. A cleaning regimen (daily, weekly, monthly, etc) will be established based on your specific needs. Depending on your preference, BACS will either use your approved cleaning products and equipment or supply its own.

Attention to Documentation

All paperwork, including training records, standard operating procedures (SOP) and cleaning checklists, will be reviewed to ensure BACS fulfils your Company’s quality assurance and documentation requirements. BACS is available to assist you in developing and refining your methodology by utilising its cleaning experience gained from working with national and international companies in the pharmaceutical, medical devices, electronics and other high tech industries.

Continuous Improvement

Following a clean, clients routinely discuss their testing results with BACS. This data and other feedback allow BACS to continually refine its cleaning technique and pass on these benefits to you. BACS management team regularly attends all industry trade shows and seminars to ensure it is current on ISO standards, cleanroom protocols and new technologies. BACS shares this knowledge with its staff through ongoing training programs. BACS also works with its suppliers, such as ITW/Texwipe and Alma, to stay informed on best practices in cleaning and advances in product development. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your cleanroom cleaning is being taken care of by experienced professionals who are familiar with critical environments.

Special Cleaning Circumstances

In addition to routinely scheduled services, BACS is also available to perform cleaning in situations such as:

Initial, post construction or pre-validation cleans:
No matter how carefully a builder works, new cleanrooms require thorough post-construction decontamination. This major contaminant cleaning is followed by fine cleaning, further reducing particle and residue levels to within desired operating parameters.
Emergencies and equipment malfunctions:
BACS is available to quickly respond to unforeseen occurrences that compromise the cleanliness of your controlled environments. BACS can clean up the debris/damage of fires, sprinkler malfunctions and pipe breakage, rapidly helping to restore your cleanroom to full operation.
Major overhauls during shut-downs:
Many companies utilise scheduled maintenance periods to perform major cleaning. BACS can promptly provide additional fully trained staff, as required, to perform cleaning duties beyond those routinely conducted.
