TCell odour control system
 
NJC have installed the worlds first continuous odour control system within the washrooms and shower rooms at Cardinal Place. Utilising a patented fluid delivery system, the TCell™ delivers a precise dose of pure designer fragrance and odour neutraliser for 60 days without the use of batteries.
 
How TCell works 
 
T cell aThe fuel cell creates hydrogen with the fragrance chamber. As each molecule of hydrogen is created, it forces (pushes) an equal volume of fragrance out of the chamber. Natural air flow distributes the fragrance throughout the washroom.
 
t cell bThe perfect environmental solution TCell promotes a clean and freshwashroom in an
environmentally friendly way. Operating without the use of batteries, the high quality fragrance is accurately dispensed without the use of propellants or added volatile organic compounds (VOC) which result in ground level ozone, a primary smog component, which is detrimental to health. The components of the refill are completely recyclable.
Are your hard floors safe?
 
NJC provide slipperiness test reports to assess the risk of slipping for all hard floors after deep cleaning.
 
Slipping and tripping is the biggest cause of accidents in the workplace. These accidents often lead to more serious problems and most are preventable. Hard floors should be checked on a regular basis, particularly after deep cleaning.
 
NJC carry out floor slipperiness testing using the SlipAlert indicator to assess whether the floor is safe. SlipAlert has been designed
specifically to correlate with the TRL
Pendulum, the UKs 'Gold Standard' and the only slip resistance tester described in the
British Standards. Four S rubber (hard shoe heel rubber) as specified in BS7976 is used for the test. 
 
Slip Alert
 
SlipAlert testing complies with the Health and Safety Executive UK slip resistance guidelines. The test is carried out 3 times and the mean value is calculated.

NJC Post Room Services
 
Cardinal Post RoomThe NJC post room service focuses on customer service and providing complete transparency of operations. This ensures that occupiers are well informed and are able to feel in control by tracking their post and packages using our unique online web application.
 
 
AMONET PREmail notifications are used to keep occupiers up-to-date on post and packages as they arrive in the post room throughout the day. Our post room teams work to deadlines for delivery / collection set by the Service Level Agreement.
 

 
The post room is managed using NJC's bespoke designed AMONET CAFM software. The AMONET post room module comprises:
 
AMONET PDA� PC application for post room use enabling data capture for post / packages.
� PDA application to enable post room operatives to collect data en route.
� Web application to enable occupiers to track open jobs and monitor performance.
 
Security is of paramount importance in any post room facility, particularly due to the increase in extremism and terrorism. The post room needs to be a secure environment as it is a high risk area. A secure post room will protect the inhabitants and Occupiers of the site from potential theft and terrorist threats.
 
All post and packages are X-ray scanned by trained post room operatives only, to screen items for potential threats. These threats could be Anti-Social Devices, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and Chemical or Biological and Radiological materials and devices (CBRs).
 
All NJC post room personnel undertake scanner operator and suspect package training to enable them to use the machine safely and spot potential threats made visible by the X-ray. The training teaches operatives how to assess a potential threat and how a perpetrator would plan a terror attack. Operatives are given a test at the end of the training, which they must pass before they are allowed to use the X-ray machine.  
 
Greener cleaning - part 5
  
Bonnet cleaningNJC encourages employees and customers to save water. We provide and promote the use of biological urinal blocks which can dramatically reduce water usage from flushing urinal cisterns. Urinal blocks contain a biological action that keep urinals free flowing and odourless. Flushing frequency can be reduced to just four times each day. Tests have indicated financial savings of �150 per urinal per year. In addition, around 115 thousand litres of water per urinal per year will be saved.
 
Other water saving measures include making sure dishwashers are fully loaded before use, training operatives to not overfill buckets and the use dry carpet cleaning systems such as bonnet buffing.
 
PULSE™ microfibre floor cleaning system
 
PulseNJC have introduced the Rubbermaid PULSE™ microfibre floor cleaning system at the majority of our large sites. The PULSE enables us to clean more square feet in less time. The industry leading microfibre, on board reservoir and user controlled release of solution enables more efficient cleaning and use of labour resource.
 
NJC save time and resources with the new Rubbermaid PULSE™ floor cleaning system. The high-capacity user-controlled release system allows our professional cleaning team to clean faster, easier, and more effectively.
