How Can Cleaners Maintain Workplace Safety?
Just like in all businesses, good personal hygiene is key to preventing illnesses. PPE such as single-use gloves and face masks, is important to minimise any workplace risks. The PPE required for cleaners are:
- Aprons
- Eye protection
- Masks
- Non-slip footwear
- Gloves
Slips and falls can be common in the cleaning industry, which is why it is important to assess the risks and take the necessary precautions.
Cleaners play a crucial role in workplace occupational safety by ensuring that the environment is clean, hygienic and free from hazards.
All cleaners will come into contact with hazardous substances at some point, which is why it is important to be prepared and have the correct PPE on you at all times.

Risk Assessments
Risk assessments are a key part of ensuring workplace safety and reducing potential hazards.
These evaluations involve identifying, analysing, and evaluating potential risks associated with specific activities or processes within an organisation.
Risk assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of potential dangers, which allows organisations to implement preventive measures and control strategies.
Identifying hazards, whether related to machinery, chemicals, or ergonomic factors, means that businesses can take proactive steps to eliminate or minimise risks and safeguard the well-being of employees.
Risk assessments are essential for legal compliance. Many regulatory bodies require organisations to conduct risk assessments as part of their health and safety legislation and obligations.
Adhering to these regulations not only ensures legal compliance but also helps you avoid fines and legal repercussions.
Regular Site Inspections
Regular site inspections for cleaners are crucial to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and ensuring a safe working environment.
These inspections allow for the identification of potential hazards, the verification of proper cleaning protocols, and the assessment of equipment conditions.
Consistently evaluating the cleanliness and safety of the site means that supervisors can address issues promptly, prevent accidents, and maintain a hygienic space.
Ultimately, these inspections contribute to the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction of both cleaning teams and the occupants of the facility.
