Health & safety
The safety of both our team and yours is at the forefront of our operations.
ISO 45001
We are proud to have an ISO 45001, recognising our management of health and safety. To comply with the ISO 45001 accreditation, we regularly update our health and safety policies according to latest legislation, conduct regular staff training and site audits, and encourage client feedback.
Before any work commences, all sites are risk assessed and COSSH data supplied.
Cleaning substance control
Certain surfaces and areas of a building require harsher chemicals and we handle these liquids with respect and with an understanding of their chemical properties. We ensure these are clearly differentiated and never combined – to ensure a safe working environment for all.
We educate our staff on the safe use of all of the chemicals they are required to use to clean your workspace, whilst also providing them with the appropriate safety equipment and workwear to handle these substances.
Machinery use
We set out clear guidelines to be followed each time it is used – this ensures that it is operated safely, and that the area is safe for cleaning.
These preventative measures are in place to avoid damage to the workplace and injuries to our cleaning staff or any other personnel on site.
Manual handling
The health of our team is incredibly important to us. Should any heavy lifting be required while they are working, they apply the manual handling training they have received from us.
Our training includes assessing the size and weight of an object that requires lifting, the appropriate number of people to lift that object and the correct way to lift it – minimising risk of injury.
Wet floor and warning sign usage
The use of wet floor and warning signs are a very important part of making sure the environment that is being cleaned remains safe throughout, for all users.
We place warning signs at all entry and exit points of an area that is being worked on, with a mop, vacuum or burnisher.
