Industrial industry · ISO 45001 · Cm3 prequalified
Warehouse, factory and depot cleaning — WHS-framed, shift-window precise.
Industrial cleaning operates inside a documented WHS frame that other sectors don't share. ISO 45001 is the operating floor. Site-specific JSAs (Job Safety Analyses) and SWMS (Safe Work Method Statements) are authored per job. Working at Heights certification is required for racking and mezzanine work. Cm3 prequalification is verified before contractor approval. The cleaning regime that works for industrial facility managers reflects all of it.

§02 · Who's on the industrial buying committee
Three readers. Three risk frames.
Industrial cleaning contracts run past a WHS coordinator before the operations manager signs. Procurement runs Cm3 verification before either gets the file. Each reader brings a separate gate the provider has to pass.

§04 · ISO 45001 + WAH + JSA/SWMS export + food-grade overlay
The operating standards we hold against.
Three layered controls — ISO 45001 as the H&S operating floor, Working at Heights certification by default with JSA/SWMS export, and AS 4674 overlay for food-grade industrial.
Standard · 01
Official scopeISO 45001 · H&S as the operating floor
AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 isn't a marketing claim — it's the operating standard. Most cleaning providers say "ISO certified" without specifying. QCC publishes the standard with version and provides certificates on request. Externally audited annually by Certifi International.

Official scopeWorking at Heights + JSA/SWMS export
Industrial cleaning frequently involves working at heights — racking, mezzanines, gantries, walkways, atrium glass. Every industrial-assigned cleaner holds current Working at Heights certification. JSA/SWMS are handed to client procurement and WHS teams as part of standard onboarding — rare in the industry.

Questions industrial buyers ask first.
Answers prepared for procurement teams, audit boards, and facility decision-makers.
- Q · 01
Are you ISO 45001 certified?
Yes. AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 — current and externally audited annually by Certifi International. Audit certificate available on request. ISO 45001 is the operating floor for our industrial division, not an add-on.
- Q · 02
Are your industrial cleaners working-at-heights certified?
Yes. Every industrial-assigned crew member holds current Working at Heights certification with fall-arrest equipment provided per job. EWP certification for scissor and boom lift operation. Specialist rope-access partners for work above 12 metres.
- Q · 03
Do you provide WHS documentation to the client?
Yes — JSA and SWMS authored per site, exported to client procurement and WHS teams as part of standard onboarding. Most industrial cleaning providers keep these internal. QCC exports them by default.
- Q · 04
Are you Cm3 prequalified?
Yes — current. Verifiable in the Cm3 portal directly. Your procurement team can check our profile and pull our compliance pack without contacting us first.
- Q · 05
Can you handle food-grade industrial sites?
Yes. AS 4674 alignment, food-grade-rated Diversey chemistry, colour-coded equipment dedicated to food zones (blue cloths and mops only), allergen-zone awareness, HACCP-aligned cleaning regime where the site operates HACCP.
- Q · 06
Can you do hydro cleaning?
Yes — hot-water high-pressure work is part of standard tooling, not subcontracted. Common applications: hard cladding surfaces, food-production floors after grease build-up, façade cleaning, equipment exteriors during shutdowns.
- Q · 07
Do you do post-shift / overnight production-area cleaning?
Yes — most industrial work runs between shifts in a fixed 4–8 hour window. Geofenced sign-in in Boomerang proves attendance inside the window. Photo logs prove the floor was ready before the next shift started.
- Q · 08
Can you handle cold storage / food-grade DCs?
Yes. Cold-rated chemistry (most standard sanitisers freeze or lose efficacy below 0°C). PPE for crew comfort and safety. Time discipline for cold-environment work. AS 4674 alignment for food-grade DC sites.
- Q · 09
Do you cover mining-adjacent operations?
Yes — fabrication shops, equipment yards, depot cleaning. QCC does not service active mine sites (that's a specialist hazmat scope). The line is drawn at the gate of the active mine operation.
- Q · 10
What insurance do industrial cleaners need?
Public liability insurance ($20m+), workers' compensation, professional indemnity, property damage cover. QCC carries all four — Certificates of Currency available on request, exported as part of the standard compliance pack.
