Why Is Storage of Cleaning Equipment Important?
In order to work safely, cleaners must understand best practice when it comes to storing the equipment and materials that they use every day.
It has been estimated that around 13,000 deaths per year in the UK are due to past exposure to chemicals and dust at work, according to the Health and Safety Executive. Both are commonplace in the cleaning industry.
Safe storage of cleaning equipment and materials will also prevent access and egress hazards to clients or the public. For instance, blocked entryways which prevent others using the location from entering or exiting.
About Storage of Cleaning Equipment
A failure by cleaning employees to follow storage practices increases the risk to the health and safety of the cleaners as well as other parties. Improper storage can also result in costly claims and damage to property and equipment.
Employers of cleaning staff have a legal duty to provide employees with the necessary information and instruction to work safely. This programme will help to maintain compliance under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) and other legal guidelines.
