Cleaning @ DHL Warehouse

DHL Supply Chain has 100 plus warehouses in more than 40 cities covering over 5.6 million square feet across India. We have built quite a few “Built to Suit” sites wherein we control the specification, delivery and quality of the warehouse. Our key sectors include technology, retail, life sciences & healthcare, automotive, engineering & manufacturing, consumer and Spare Parts Logistics (SPL).

Cleaning of warehouses is outsourced. We have a workforce of around 560 for housekeeping. Each Warehouse supervisor would be in charge of ensuring that the facility is clean at all times. DHL we promotes a culture of ‘Clean-as-you-go’ making every employee responsible for keeping the surroundings neat and clean.

We actively promote the health & safety of our employees and provide them with a safe and clean working environment. This is our way of building and maintaining an able-bodied and motivated workforce.

Some of the cleaning solutions used at our warehouses include, battery operated ride-on scrubber drier from Roots Multiclean primarily for indoor cleaning. One of the biggest challenges we foresee for this sector would be the ready availability of professional cleaning machinery and trained workers who can quickly adapt to the requirements of large sites where needs for hygiene differ from that of a corporate office environment.
