We understand the difficult balance faced by many Facilities Managers today. Juggling tight budgets and heavy workloads whilst keeping your facility running safely and efficiently is a real challenge. The combined pressures can mean that tasks such as repair work and regular site audits slide down the list of priorities. But, by implementing lean warehousing principles and the 5S system, you can do more with less - minimising resource use without compromising quality or productivity.
As a Facilities Manager, your initial step is to conduct an annual risk assessment to help you ‘sort’ your facility by identifying any damage and potential hazards. Our free guide gives expert information and valuable insights into risks both inside and outside your premises, ensuring safety underfoot.
In our Problems and Solutions guide, we cover:
• Identifying common flooring damage
• Extending your floor’s lifespan
• Avoiding costly repairs
• Exploring our core product range and solutions
It’s important to maximise space in your facility; it not only increases productivity but also minimises disruption and saves time. Watco offers a range of line marking solutions to define hazardous areas and identify safe walkways. These products are ideal for establishing floor layouts, creating a safer and more efficient workspace.
Maintaining facility cleanliness is essential for preventing costly slip and fall injuries. Promptly addressing spills is crucial, but this isn’t always possible in high traffic areas.

To get the most out of 5S, processes need to be standardised. Regular maintenance checks for your floor are essential to keep everything running smoothly. Watco offers a free checklist for quick and easy floor inspections. We’ll help you spot damage and find the right product solutions to fix it.
