Waxing Floors

That's a tall order, as you must first establish a minimum standard of quality for the work done and develop a reliable metric by which that quality is measured.

acrylic floor sealing and stripping is the commonest method. I see some urethanes too.

They are applied to a cleaned stripped floor on whatever basis the floor owner needs for proper maintenance of the floor. Some do it weekly and some monthly with a daily sweep and wash cycle. Some clean, wash and apply more coating daily and strip weekly. If you go through these you may find some clues to determine your answer.

the coatings are usually stripped with a alkaline solution in water,

Find a friend in the [real] telephone company - get him to check the "BSP" which is either Bell Standard Practices or Bell System Practices. I worked for a subsidiary of Bell Canada in the 1960's and the BSP copy that we had - a continually updated roomful of books with its own librarian - included a bit on those wide brooms used to sweep floors explaining to ignorant little me why the wood bar has two holes in it, AND how many square foot of floor to sweep before switching the handle to other other side. It was a set of tables table by brush width, type and floor material, and determined optimum brush life.

It was the greatest reference work for a business I ever saw. It included instruction manuals for every vehicle any Bell System member had ever owned.

IN this case, being skeptical is being smart, in case it didn't occur to you. Hospital maintenance workers, whether or not unionized, will be inclined to do their best to undo any standard imposed--as will the union without doubt. If you want the supervisors to be willing to jump into such quicksand, you had better be prepared to reward accordingly. And if the supervisors must be rewarded, the workers will be soon to follow. To sum up, ingenious ideas in the wrong place are ingenious nevertheless: that is to say, naive. Try a motivation other than KITA.
