Cleaners SW7 is committed to providing cleaning services in a manner that safeguards the health, safety and welfare of our employees, clients, visitors and members of the public. This policy sets out our approach to managing health and safety across all cleaning activities carried out in domestic and commercial properties within our service area.
Our objective is to prevent injury and ill health arising from our work and to comply with all relevant health and safety legislation and industry best practice. We will provide safe working conditions, safe systems of work, and appropriate information, instruction and training so that our cleaners can carry out their tasks safely and professionally.
This policy applies to all employees of Cleaners SW7, as well as contractors and temporary staff engaged to provide cleaning services on our behalf. We also expect our clients to cooperate with us in maintaining safe working environments at the properties where we operate.
The management of Cleaners SW7 has overall responsibility for health and safety within the company. Management will ensure that adequate resources are provided for implementing this policy and that health and safety considerations are integrated into planning and decision making.
Supervisors, team leaders and coordinators are responsible for implementing this policy on a day-to-day basis, monitoring standards, identifying problems and ensuring that any shortcomings are addressed promptly.
All employees have a duty to take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions or omissions. Employees must follow instructions, use equipment correctly, wear personal protective equipment where required, and report hazards, incidents and near misses without delay.
We undertake risk assessments for our cleaning activities to identify potential hazards and determine appropriate control measures. This includes assessing risks related to manual handling, slips and trips, use of cleaning chemicals, use of electrical equipment, lone working and work in occupied premises.
On the basis of these assessments, we establish safe systems of work and clear procedures for our staff to follow. Risk assessments are reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant changes in our operations, equipment, products used or the nature of the premises we service.
We select cleaning products carefully, taking into account both effectiveness and safety. Information on each product is obtained from the manufacturer, and employees receive instructions on safe use, storage and disposal.
Staff must always follow label directions and company guidance, never mix chemicals, and ensure adequate ventilation when using products that may release vapours. Protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, must be worn whenever indicated by company procedures or product information.
All cleaning equipment provided by Cleaners SW7, including vacuum cleaners, floor machines, steam cleaners and other appliances, is maintained in a safe condition. Equipment is inspected regularly, and defective items are taken out of use until repaired or replaced.
Employees are trained to use equipment safely, including correct assembly, operation, cable management, and cleaning after use. Electrical leads should be positioned to avoid trip hazards, and equipment must be unplugged before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out.
Many cleaning tasks involve manual handling of equipment, waste and supplies. To reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury, we provide instruction on safe lifting and carrying techniques, the use of trolleys where appropriate, and sensible task rotation.
Staff are encouraged to avoid unnecessary lifting, to request assistance with heavy or awkward loads, and to report any discomfort or early signs of strain so that working methods can be reviewed.
Slips and trips are a common source of accidents in cleaning work. Our procedures require staff to display warning signs when cleaning floors, to manage trailing leads, and to keep work areas tidy and free from unnecessary obstructions.
Spillages must be dealt with promptly and warning signs removed immediately once floors are safe and dry. Good housekeeping is expected at all times, both in client premises and in any storage or staging areas we use.
Some cleaning tasks may be carried out by staff working alone or outside normal hours. Where lone working is necessary, we assess the risks and implement controls such as agreed check-in arrangements, clear job instructions and access to support if problems arise.
When working in client premises, cleaners must respect client rules, security arrangements and any specific safety instructions provided. Staff must not undertake tasks that are outside the scope of their training or that appear unsafe, and should contact a supervisor for guidance where required.
We seek to protect the general health and welfare of our employees by providing appropriate facilities and encouraging good hygiene practices. Hands should be washed or sanitised regularly, particularly after handling waste or using cleaning chemicals and before eating or drinking.
Personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks, eye protection and protective clothing is provided where risk assessments indicate a need. Employees must use this equipment correctly and report any defects or shortages so that replacements can be arranged.
Cleaners SW7 provides induction training for all new employees, covering company health and safety rules, safe working methods and emergency procedures. Further task-specific training is provided as required, including refresher training to maintain standards and awareness.
We ensure that health and safety information is communicated in a clear and understandable way, taking into account the language needs and experience of our staff.
All accidents, incidents, near misses and dangerous occurrences must be reported to a supervisor as soon as practicable. We investigate incidents to identify root causes and implement measures to prevent recurrence.
Employees must familiarise themselves with emergency arrangements in the premises where they work, including fire evacuation routes, assembly points and the location of first aid provision where available. Staff should cooperate fully with site-specific emergency procedures at all times.
We monitor our health and safety performance through workplace checks, review of incident reports and feedback from employees and clients. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and provide additional training as necessary.
This health and safety policy is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains suitable and effective for the cleaning services we provide and the environments in which we operate. All employees are informed of any significant changes.
By working together to follow this policy, Cleaners SW7 aims to maintain a safe, healthy and professional cleaning service for every client and every member of our team.
