Posted by: Admin

There are numerous office cleaning procedures that involve using harmful chemicals, or moving heavy pieces of furniture or equipment. As a result, we ensure our cleaners work to strict health and safety regulations, ensuring the safety of you, your employees, and our cleaners.

We ensure our cleaners receive ongoing training on the cleaning procedures we use, along with the equipment, ensuring that they are constantly reminded of what health and safety procedures need to be followed, based on the cleaning they are doing.  We also conduct a risk assessment when we do our site survey of your office, this is when we can identify any risks for our team, identify how many cleaners we need to clean your office effectively, and provide you with a recommended cleaning schedule and quote.

Risk Assessments

Risk assessments are an important part of our office cleaning operations, ensuring that we identify all hazards and risks before our cleaners come and start their work. This analysis of any risks, helps us ensure there are measured in place to avoid or limit the chance of accidents. 

To ensure we provide you with a high quality office cleaning service, we ensure we provide our employees with the necessary knowledge and tools to ensure their safety at all times. We help our clients provide their employees with a clean and hygienic office space, ensuring that all procedures are carried out, that the right cleaners are used for the right purpose, and that our teams are using their equipment properly, while following health and safety protocols.

Hazardous Substances

Chemicals used in cleaning can be very dangerous if they come in contact with the body or are inhaled. Our cleaners are taught to read the labels of the cleaners before using them, ensuring that they use them correctly. They wear gloves and masks when handling these substances. Our cleaners will cordon off areas while cleaning is in progress, when using hazardous cleaning products.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Our cleaners wear uniforms, safety shoes, gloves, goggles, and more to ensure that they remain safe when carrying out cleaning duties. With our regular spot checks, we can quickly identify team members not following our protective clothing regulations, providing them with additional training, ensuring their safety at all times.

Cleaning Equipment

Our cleaners are trained on the use of cleaning equipment from vacuum cleaners to floor buffers. We ensure that we provide safe working practices and that our team are updated on any new equipment, including how to use it, the manufacturers guidelines, safety warning signs, and safe storage. They will check the equipment before they use it, ensuring there is no obvious damage and it appears in safe working order.

Office Equipment

Sloane Cleaning teams will ensure any equipment is turned off before they clean it. This includes microwaves, printers, and other equipment in your office that will need to be dusted, cleaned, and sanitised. 

Signage

In order to keep your office environment safe for employees and visitors, our cleaners know what signs to use, ensuring that your visitors and staff know when cleaning is in progress, reducing the risk of slips and falls. 

Conclusion

We understand the importance of ensuring we have strict safety protocols in place when cleaning your office. Our focus is to provide you with a clean and hygienic workspace, while ensuring the safety of your employees, visitors, and our cleaners. With ongoing training and set cleaning procedures, we are able to ensure that health and safety regulations are followed at all times.
