Classification
Summary
Workers who clean and remove deposits from the interior of equipment such as chemical plants and on-site facilities using high-pressure water or chemicals to maintain operational efficiency and safety.
Description
Plant cleaners periodically shut down plant equipment in chemical factories, power plants, etc., and use high-pressure cleaning machines, chemicals, and solvents to remove deposits and dirt from inside pipes, tanks, and structures. Before starting work, they follow confined space work procedures, wear safety protective gear, perform ventilation and gas measurements, etc., requiring strict safety management. After cleaning, they inspect the equipment condition, create records, and hand over to the next process. Work at heights or in confined spaces requires physical strength and concentration.

Demand for cleaning and maintenance will remain stable due to plant aging countermeasures and strengthened environmental regulations. Introduction of IoT and automation technologies is expected to improve work efficiency.
