I have over three years of experience in operating and maintaining various housekeeping machinery, including vacuum cleaners, floor scrubbers, and carpet extractors. I am proficient in performing routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning filters, checking fluid levels, and ensuring all parts are in good working condition. My experience also includes troubleshooting minor issues and making necessary adjustments to keep the equipment functioning efficiently.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and importance of each machine's maintenance needs. For instance, if a machine is due for a routine check-up and another is showing signs of malfunction, I would address the malfunction first to prevent further damage. I also consider the operational schedule of the machinery to ensure minimal disruption to housekeeping services. Effective communication with the housekeeping team helps me stay updated on which machines are in constant use and require immediate attention.

Safety is my top priority when handling housekeeping machinery. I always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety goggles. I ensure that all machinery is properly grounded and that I am familiar with the safety protocols specific to each piece of equipment. Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent accidents. I also provide safety training to new staff and emphasize the importance of following safety guidelines at all times.

In the event of an unexpected breakdown, my first step is to assess the situation and determine the extent of the issue. If it's a minor problem, I attempt to fix it on the spot using my troubleshooting skills. For more significant issues, I promptly notify my supervisor and coordinate with the maintenance team to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. I also document the incident, including the steps taken and the resolution, to prevent similar issues in the future.

When training new staff, I follow a structured approach that includes both theoretical and practical components. I start by explaining the basic principles of each machine, including its functions, safety features, and maintenance requirements. Then, I demonstrate the correct operation and provide hands-on practice opportunities. I emphasize the importance of following safety protocols and offer continuous support to ensure they feel confident and competent. Regular follow-ups and refresher sessions help reinforce their skills and address any emerging questions or concerns.
