This Health and Safety Policy sets out the principles and arrangements that Cleaners SW17 follows to protect the health, safety and welfare of our employees, contractors, clients and members of the public while we provide professional cleaning services. Our aim is to deliver high standards of cleaning while preventing accidents, injuries, ill health and damage to property.
Cleaners SW17 is committed to operating in accordance with relevant health and safety legislation and recognised industry best practice. We will provide and maintain safe working conditions, safe equipment and safe systems of work for all cleaning activities carried out at client premises, including homes, offices and commercial properties.
Our objectives are to prevent work-related injury and ill health, to identify and control hazards, and to continually improve our health and safety performance. Health and safety is an integral part of how we plan, manage and deliver all cleaning services.
Overall responsibility for health and safety lies with the company management. Management will ensure that appropriate resources, information, training and supervision are provided so that this policy can be implemented effectively.
Supervisors are responsible for day-to-day monitoring of safe practices, ensuring that staff follow procedures, use personal protective equipment correctly and report hazards or incidents promptly.
Each cleaner and member of staff has a duty to take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions. Staff must follow all safety instructions, cooperate with management, attend required training and immediately report accidents, near misses and unsafe conditions.
Cleaners SW17 will carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessments for cleaning tasks and environments in which we operate. These assessments will identify significant hazards, such as slips and trips, manual handling, use of chemicals, lone working and use of electrical equipment.
Based on the findings of risk assessments, we will put in place appropriate controls and safe systems of work. These may include specific cleaning methods, restricted use of particular products, time controls, signage, and agreed communication procedures with clients. Risk assessments will be reviewed regularly and when there are changes to work processes, equipment or premises.
All cleaning chemicals used by Cleaners SW17 will be assessed and managed in line with applicable requirements for hazardous substances. We will obtain and maintain product information and follow manufacturer instructions at all times.
Chemicals will be stored safely, clearly labelled and used only for their intended purpose. Staff will be trained in the safe handling, dilution and application of cleaning products as well as in emergency procedures in the event of spills or accidental exposure. Where required, suitable personal protective equipment will be provided and must be worn.
Cleaners SW17 will provide appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, aprons, masks, eye protection or other items as identified by risk assessment. Equipment will be fit for purpose, maintained in good condition and replaced when necessary.
All staff are required to use personal protective equipment correctly and to report any loss, damage or defect. Failure to wear mandatory personal protective equipment may result in disciplinary action as it places individuals and others at risk.
Manual handling tasks, such as moving cleaning equipment, waste and supplies, will be avoided or reduced as far as reasonably practicable. Where lifting or moving is necessary, staff will receive manual handling guidance to minimise strain and the risk of injury.
Cleaning machines, tools and equipment, including vacuums, floor machines and extension poles, will be maintained in safe working condition. Staff will only use equipment for which they have been trained and authorised. Electrical equipment will be visually checked before use, and any defects will be reported immediately and the item taken out of service.
Slips and trips are a significant risk in cleaning activities. Cleaners SW17 will use appropriate wet floor signage, barriers and working methods to minimise risk to our staff, clients and others nearby.
Spillages will be cleaned promptly and safely. Cables and equipment will be routed carefully to avoid creating tripping hazards. Staff will remain aware of their surroundings and will report any environmental dangers such as damaged flooring, poor lighting or obstructed walkways.
All cleaners will receive induction training covering the content of this policy and the specific risks associated with their work. Additional training will be provided on topics such as safe use of chemicals, manual handling techniques, use of machinery and emergency procedures.
Information about hazards and control measures will be communicated clearly. Supervisors will monitor working practices, provide guidance and intervene where unsafe behaviour or conditions are observed. Refresher training will be provided when necessary or when work methods change.
Cleaners SW17 requires all accidents, incidents, near misses and hazardous conditions to be reported as soon as possible to a supervisor or manager. Records will be kept and reviewed to identify trends and to implement measures to prevent recurrence.
Emergency procedures for fire, first aid, chemical spills and other incidents will be established according to the premises in which we work. Staff must familiarise themselves with emergency routes, assembly points and the location of relevant equipment such as first aid kits and fire extinguishers, and follow client site rules at all times.
We recognise our responsibility to protect the physical and mental wellbeing of our staff. This includes considering work patterns, lone working arrangements and the physical demands of cleaning tasks.
Reasonable adjustments will be considered for staff with health conditions or specific needs, where this can be done without compromising safety. Any concerns about workload, stress or health issues related to work should be raised with management so that appropriate support can be considered.
Cleaners SW17 values the input of staff in improving health and safety. We encourage open communication on safety issues, suggestions for safer methods of work and prompt reporting of hazards. Where appropriate, we will consult with employees on health and safety matters and take account of their feedback.
This Health and Safety Policy will be reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant changes to our operations, legislation or industry guidance. Revisions will be communicated to all staff, and updated procedures will be implemented as part of our ongoing commitment to safe and professional cleaning services.
