Inculcating Civic Sense
Rising standards of quality, regulatory requirements and reporting mandates, have ensured that pharma companies validate their cleaning processes, says Major Umesh Pradhan, Senior Manager – Administration, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
We do have the necessary cleaning facilities except manpower which we outsource. Being a pharmaceutical company, we need to maintain the highest standard always. We have put “Dos” and “Don’ts” messages everywhere yet getting people to follow them will take its own time. The major challenge for us is not the cleaning but the people who are well educated but not civilized, as they do not mind littering around. We do provide the motivational training twice a month.
“Along with the latest cleaning equipment deployed, we use chemicals R1, R2 to R5 in accordance with the applications. We spend around `25-30 lakhs per annum on cleaning and maintenance.
“In order have a future of civilised people, we need cleaning institutes providing training and also management development programmes. Manuals and booklets should be made readily available on the cleaning processes.
“We must share inspirational stories on cleaning and maintenance that might help people to be more civilised.”
