Since 1983, the Gustave RIVARD centre has been provided training modules to enable you to use and maintain your production tools in the best possible way by enhancing your employees’ know-how.
Our training is adapted to the different people involved: Operators, Mechanical operators, Supervisors and Maintenance agents.
RIVARD training for industrial cleaning activities is very complete and adapted to each person’s role. We deal with all subjects related to the activity: cleaning, disinfecting, safety, products, cleanliness, hygiene, equipment and so on. We integrate all the expectations of prevention bodies (CRAM, INRS, INERIS, etc.) and the different needs of our customers. We deal with environment-related issues. The training modules are defined according to the roles of the people working on a site: Operator assistants, Operators, Monitors, Mechanical operators, Supervisors, Maintenance agents and so on. All our training is based around theoretical and practical workshops.
We provide an annual training timetable to help you organise your schedule.
The objectives of training in industrial cleaning and its activities
The training dedicated to good industrial cleaning practices also enable trainees to prepare for S3C exams and be able to operate on a host of industrial sites. Our team of professionals provides advice to agents working on sites.
The content of an industrial cleaning training session
The objectives, prerequisites and teaching resources are mentioned in the module presentation sheets. You will be given a complete file containing the programme, the methods and conditions, an invitation, an access plan and a list of hotels. The training is structured with practical and theoretical workshops.
At the end of the training, a skills test is taken to validate what the trainees have learned and a session certificate is given out.
The types of industrial cleaning training at RIVARD
The training on good industrial site cleaning practices is rolled out according to the different profiles involved: operators, mechanical operators, supervisors and maintenance agents.
To become an operator
The trainees will be trained in the risks related to the activity and the environment. The will learn about the safety signs and devices. They will discover effective methods to improve performance and productivity. They will master the right movements and positions. We insist on the safety rules inherent to the use of pressurised water to ensure their safety and the safety of other operators. We ensure that the trainees are aware of the vital need to use collective and personal protection equipment. We teach them the right behaviour to adopt in the event of an accident caused by using pressurised water.
To become a mechanical operator
In this module, we teach everything they need to know to guarantee high performance and safe installations. At the end of the training, the trainees will:
- Know the techniques for the equipment and tools to ensure higher productivity
- Master the technical basics to install safe connections (threads, seals, connectors, torque, etc.)
- Be able to install a site according to the rules of the art
- Be able to detect anomalies preventively during operations
- Adjust and configure equipment in order to optimise the power consumed
- Know the operation and installation of the safety devices
- Be able to carry out servicing and the daily inspection
- Master the actions to take if an accident occurs
To become a supervisor
This training module teaches the skills needed to supervise a site.
The supervisor will then be able to build up the right team and define the collective and individual protection equipment required.
They will be able to detect the advance warning signs of a potentially dangerous situation and will learn the methods to define risk zones when using pressurised water.
They will be trained in the risks involved in transferring dangerous products, notably those that may generate ATEX.
To become a maintenance agent
This training to become a maintenance agent teaches the rules of the art for maintaining industrial cleaning equipment. We provide a reminder of the vital technical basics (Vacuum, HP, threads, connectors, torques, MSP, etc.). We teach the basic principles to “lock down the equipment” and the main errors that should be avoided.
During this training, we look in depth at the operation of the equipment and accessories. We study common maintenance operations.
One of the objectives is also to detect the clues that reveal a possible failure.
