Getting the job done
Why should I use Hans Langh Cleaning Services? Because of the savings considering both time and expense.
​
In many cases our professionalism has saved our customers significant costs. For example maintenance work has been carried out on the sides of a ship while at sea, or the damage caused by an industrial fire has been repaired in record time, allowing production to be restarted earlier than expected.
​
In addition to our reliability and speed, an additional characteristic feature of ours is our ingenuity. For example, tasks related to the prevention of further damage are often very case-specific, and the necessary cleaning methods have to be improvised on site in cooperation with the customer. Numerous such cases have strengthened and increased our know-how.
​
When a customer asks for our help with a demanding task, we see it as a challenge to take on. We seek to solve the problem in an effective manner and within budget. If there is no solution that's ready for use, we will develop one.
Prioritizing work safety
Safe work environment and working conditions are a priority for Industrial and Ship Cleaning Services Hans Langh Ltd. We are committed to continuous improvement and evaluate safety in all jobs before beginning. Our aim is to have work safety adapted as a part of our everyday organization culture and having it as a natural part of our job. Safety at work is based on skilled foremen, safety demands by management and well supported work-safety guidance and rules.
​
A healthy and safe working environment concludes zero injuries. We do not tolerate any behavior that puts our workers' safety at risk. In case of a safety issue, the situation is analysed in depth so that we can develop safer working conditions for everyone. All our employees are trained with safety precaution in mind to prevent any possible accidents. We expect that given guidelines are followed and that our employees also proactively pay attention to whether there are parts that still need further safety guidance.

Accountability is the starting point for all operations
As a company our main area of operations is cleaning, handling and transporting hazardous materials. Therefore, following responsible operating methods and using appropriate equipment are the starting points for all of our operations.
​
Hans Langh Industry and Ship Cleaning Services is the oldest and longest-standing company in the industry in Finland. We are one of the first companies to build its operating practices according to quality standards, and have worked in accordance with standards ISO 14001 since the year 2000.
​
We cooperate closely with authorities and report back to them on our activities. Our cooperation is open. A permit must be held in order to handle and transport hazardous materials, so everything has to be in order.
One of Hans Langh Cleaning Service's strong areas of expertise is the handling of oils and prevention of oil spills. In this area of operations we work in cooperation with the Finnish Environment Institute.
​
We also actively work to reduce any burden on the environment. We have developed many of our operating methods ourselves and continually strive to find solutions and methods that are even more environmentally friendly. Especially the well-being of the Baltic Sea is a matter held dear by all Langh companies.
Oil spill response
Approximately 2,000 oil spills occur in Finland every year. Most of the oil spills are small emissions on land, such as fuel or lubricant leaking from cars. The Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) maintains an environmental disaster alert system, which receives reports of approximately 100 larger environmental disasters at sea or on land each year.
Hans Langh Cleaning Services is taking responsibility for the environment by participating in the prevention and clean-up of oil spill damage in cooperation with rescue services. Cleaning Services has also been involved in preventing oil spills at sea in the coastal areas of Finland. Our company has a wide range of special equipment at its disposal that can be used to minimize oil spills by removing and washing the oil from the site.
From a former gas station to a responsible business premises
When you arrive at the Langh companies' headquarters in Piikkiö, Kaarina, you wouldn't think for a moment that you're entering the base of a medium-sized heavy industry company. The idyllic field landscape with its agricultural buildings and river makes it seem as if time has stopped. However, behind this scenery is a remarkably modern and responsible group of companies. Langh is one of Finland's leading shipping companies, and Hans Langh Cleaning Services processes and transports hundreds of tons of hazardous waste for recycling each year.
Hans Langh Cleaning Services operates in connection with the Alaskartano farm. For a long time, all operations were concentrated at the old Langh farm. However in 2015, operations were expanded to the former gas station area in Pohtiokuja, which is located within sight of the farm on the other side of the old Helsingintie. Soon, all of the Hans Langh Cleaning Services operations were moved over, as the desire was to move the treatment of oily water further away from the river and the fileds.
The treatment of oily water was completely concentrated indoors, which also means that the operation does not create any unpleasant odors. A special basin was installed at the bottom of the oil treatment facility, which prevents oil from flowing out of the hall in the event of an accident. An oil separation well has also been installed in the ground in case all other precautions fail.

Contaminated soils were replaced with new ones
The site was once home to two different gas stations, and after they ceased operations the soil was heavily contaminated with oil. Although the gas stations had carried out clean-up work, not all of the oil-contaminated soil had been removed. After the Langh companies purchased the contaminated site, a total of over 7,000 tons of contaminated soil were removed in 2008 and 2009. Finally, a sampling by Golder Associates concluded that all contaminated soil had been removed and the amounts of contaminants were below the limits set by law.
The Ministry of the Environment has set a goal in the national contaminated land risk management strategy to make all contaminated land in Finland environmentally safe by 2040. Langh's new premises in Pohtiokuja support this goal.
