JANGRO SCORES 99.7% SUCCESS IN CHSA
ACCREDITED DISTRIBUTOR AUDIT
Jangro, the UK and Ireland’s largest network of independent janitorial suppliers,
is delighted to announce it has scored 99.7% in the latest UK Cleaning & Hygiene
Suppliers Association’s (CHSA) independent audit.
As one of the first distributors to be accredited by the CHSA Accredited
Distributors Scheme, Jangro is
committed to raising the bar for
quality and reliability in the industry.
Purchasing from an Accredited CHSA
member, like Jangro, guarantees
transparency, and the assurance
that every customer gets the exact
quantity and quality of So Tissue,
Cotton Mops or Plastic Refuse Sacks
that they pay for.
The Jangro membership sites were randomly audited to check what
percentage of products stocked, from their accredited schemes for Refuse Sacks,
So Tissue and Cotton Mops, comply with their standards. In each category, the
percentage of products o ered by Jangro was close to 100% - and in fact, was
above the overall ave rage of all CHSA Accredited Distributors. The report shows
the following scores were achieved: So Tissue: 99.7% (98.6% overall), Cotton
Mops : 100% (99.9% overall) and Plastic Refuse Sacks: 99.4% (92% overall).
Joanne Gilliard, CEO of Jangro, commented: "We are thrilled with the results
from the latest CHSA independent audit. This is an important process that o ers
Jangro customers confidence that our high standards are being consistently
maintained, and which clearly demonstrates the benefits of partnering with a
CHSA accredited distributor."

5 WAYS TO MAXIMISE YOUR BUILDING’S LIFTS
If you are delegated with the
responsibility for a building’s
li s or escalators, how can you
maximise their lifespan and
ensure their smooth running?
Maintenance – set up a
good li maintenance
agreement for between
three to five years to
prolong the lifecycle of
your equipment.
Survey your equipment – ask your maintenance provider to advise on
improvements needed to help keep it running safely and reliably.
Technology – explore the advantages and benefits that remote monitoring
can deliver.
Training – ensure your sta make essential daily checks of the equipment
to help it to run e ectively and safely. Train your key personnel to allow
them to manage your li and escalator assets e ectively.
Thorough examination – have your equipment thoroughly examined
every six months as an essential check on safety. This is di erent from
maintenance, but the reports give feedback so is useful for monitoring
maintenance.
FMs are invited to attend LIFTEX 2019, the UK’s leading li and escalator event
for free advice and guidance. 15 – 16 May 2019, ExCeL, London.

LZR TRIGGERS ‘INITIAL’ ACTIVATION
A new combined activation and safety sensor
for special door and window requirements is
being launched by GEZE UK.
The GEZE laser scanner LZR can be used
in environments which demand a wider
range than standard activation and safety
sensors.
In these cases, the LZR range can be
used to boost their activation using a fourlaser
light curtain which provides threedimensional
protection of the monitored
area.
The laser scanner LZR also incorporates a
‘time-of-flight’ measurement system which
make them very reliable as they are not
a ected by background reflection.
They can be used for a range of automatic door and window systems
and come in three types so that the most appropriate one can be used in
conjunction with the relevant door or window solution.
The laser scanner LZR is considered ideal for retro-fitting to existing systems
and their installation above doorways eliminates the risk of them being
damaged by collision.
The P220 version is produced in black while the others the P110 and the 1100
comes in both black and white.
Said Andy Howland, Director of Sales and Marketing for GEZE UK: “The laser
scanner LZR is a welcome addition to our range of activation and safety sensors
and will provide real benefits to environments that have particular needs in
activating doors or safety requirements."
