Sincere thanks to our outgoing Fractional Support Team
Fractional executives are leaders in their field who partner with businesses on a part-time, contractual basis. Christine has been our Fractional Integrator, Jason has been our Fractional Sales Director, and Heather has been our Fractional Marketing Director. Under their leadership Populist has almost doubled in size, while being faithful to our Core Values and quality partnering standards. We are now in a position to have these roles filled by direct employees of Populist.
From Co-Owner, Mike: Christine, Jason, and Heather have been dedicated leaders and integral partners in our growth and success – true quality partners! . Let’s all give sincere thanks and best wishes to each one as they move on to their next endeavors.

Working Safely
On the job accident prevention is the responsibility of all Populist Employees.
Working with electrical equipment (such as vacuum cleaners and floor scrubbers), especially when water or moisture is present, can expose you to electrical current. Electrical currents can cause shock and injury.
These procedures should be followed while on the job:
- Dry your hands before touching any electrical equipment.
- Check switches, cords, and plugs of all electrical equipment before use.
- Make sure equipment is in the “Power off” position before plugging it into or unplugging from an outlet.
- Keep your vacuum cleaner away from water, including wet floors.
- Do not vacuum a wet floor, wet carpet, or wet mat.
- Immediately turn off the power if you smell burning plastic or smoke, if you see sparks, or if you feel tingling or a shock. Do not use the equipment. Report the problem to our office.
- Change the bag regularly. An over-stuffed bag will hinder suction, stress the motor, or may burst.
- Disconnect an electrical plug by pulling on the actual plug, not the cord.
- Do not allow the cord to become twisted or knotted.
- Do not use more than one extension cord at a time.
- Do not run the machine over the cord.
- Properly wrap and store all cords when vacuuming has been completed.
We strive to keep all of our cleaning equipment in good working order. Please contact our office if you have questions, concerns, or notice a problem with your equipment.
Be safe out there!
