Cleaners SW6 is committed to providing professional cleaning services while protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, clients, visitors and members of the public. This Health and Safety policy sets out the principles and arrangements we follow to manage risks effectively and maintain a safe working environment across all locations where we operate.
Our objective is to prevent accidents, injuries, work-related ill health and damage to property arising from our cleaning activities. We will comply with all relevant health and safety legislation and recognised industry best practice. Health and safety is an integral part of our management system and is given equal priority with quality and service delivery.
Management accepts overall responsibility for health and safety performance and for providing the resources necessary to implement this policy. Every employee and contractor working under our control has a duty to take reasonable care of themselves and others who may be affected by their actions.
Senior management is responsible for establishing, maintaining and reviewing this policy, setting clear objectives and ensuring that appropriate risk assessments, procedures and training are in place. They will monitor performance and take action to remedy deficiencies.
Supervisors are responsible for implementing safe systems of work, communicating safety instructions, checking that staff use equipment and products correctly and reporting hazards, incidents or near misses promptly.
Employees are required to cooperate with all safety measures, follow training and instructions, use personal protective equipment as directed, report hazards and incidents without delay, and refrain from any activity that may put themselves or others at risk.
We identify and assess risks associated with our cleaning operations, including but not limited to slips and trips, manual handling, working at height, use of electrical equipment, exposure to cleaning chemicals and interaction with building users. Site-specific risk assessments are carried out where necessary, and findings are used to put suitable control measures in place.
Safe working procedures are developed and communicated for routine and non-routine tasks. Staff are required to follow these procedures at all times, including correct signage, access control and safe storage of tools and materials. Dynamic risk assessments are encouraged when conditions change or unexpected hazards are encountered.
We recognise the potential hazards associated with cleaning products and other substances used in our work. Only approved products are used and they are handled in accordance with manufacturer instructions and relevant safety data. Products are kept in original containers with labels intact and are stored securely when not in use.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health principles are applied in selecting less hazardous alternatives where possible, ensuring adequate ventilation, using appropriate personal protective equipment and providing training on safe use, dilution, application and disposal. Staff are instructed never to mix chemicals and to report any spills or exposure incidents immediately.
Where risks cannot be eliminated or adequately controlled by other means, suitable personal protective equipment is provided. This may include gloves, masks, eye protection, footwear or other items depending on the task and environment.
Employees must use the equipment provided, care for it properly and report defects or loss so that replacements can be arranged. PPE is selected to be appropriate, comfortable and compatible with the tasks being undertaken.
Many cleaning tasks involve lifting, carrying, pushing or pulling. We aim to reduce manual handling risks by using mechanical aids, minimising loads and planning tasks sensibly. Staff receive guidance and training on safe lifting techniques and on avoiding overreaching or awkward postures.
All equipment, including vacuum cleaners, floor machines, extension poles, ladders and electrical tools, must be inspected before use and operated according to training and instructions. Faulty or damaged equipment must be taken out of service and reported for repair or replacement.
Slips and trips are a significant risk in cleaning work. To minimise this, we adopt clear procedures for the use of warning signs, prompt cleaning of spills, safe routing of cables and careful positioning of equipment and materials. Wet floor signs and other barriers must be displayed whenever floors are wet or in the process of being cleaned and removed as soon as areas are safe.
Staff must maintain good housekeeping standards, keeping work areas organised and free from unnecessary obstructions. Entry to work areas may be controlled where necessary to protect building users and visitors.
All cleaners receive appropriate induction and ongoing training relevant to their duties, including general health and safety awareness, safe use of equipment, chemical safety, manual handling and emergency procedures. Additional task-specific training is provided where specialist methods or machinery are used.
Supervision is provided in proportion to the level of risk and the experience of the staff involved. We promote open communication so that employees can raise concerns and suggest improvements without fear of reprisal. Health and safety information is shared through briefings, toolbox talks and written guidance.
All accidents, incidents, near misses and hazardous conditions must be reported at the earliest opportunity. Records are kept to help identify trends and opportunities for improvement. Where appropriate, investigations are carried out to determine root causes and to implement corrective and preventive measures.
Emergency procedures, including fire safety, first aid and building evacuation, are followed at every site in line with local arrangements. Staff are made aware of alarm points, exits, assembly points and any specific site rules. We cooperate fully with clients and other duty holders to ensure coordinated emergency planning.
We recognise our responsibility to support the general health and wellbeing of our staff. Reasonable welfare facilities are provided or agreed with clients, and workloads, shift patterns and lone working arrangements are monitored to limit undue stress or fatigue.
We are committed to preventing work-related ill health, including respiratory and skin conditions, through appropriate controls, training, PPE and prompt response to any concerns reported by staff.
This Health and Safety policy is reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur in our operations, methods, legislation or organisational structure. Feedback from employees, clients and other interested parties is welcomed and considered as part of our continuous improvement process.
By working together and following the principles set out in this policy, Cleaners SW6 aims to deliver reliable, high quality cleaning services while maintaining a safe and healthy environment for everyone affected by our work.
