Sloane Cleaning Services Pass the Health and Safety Test
Sloane Cleaning Services, London’s premier commercial cleaning company has stepped up their efforts to promote health and safety policies amongst their workforce and those of their clients.
Having established themselves as a leading cleaning services provider in the Central and Greater London area, the company has over 25 years of cleaning experience to offer UK businesses, a career that they attribute to comprehensive training and education for their professional cleaning staff.
A spokesperson for Sloane Cleaning Services has this to say;
“The health and safety of our employees is of the utmost importance to us, which is one of the reasons why we ensure that each and every one of our office cleaners receives comprehensive training before they visit one of our clients. The training we provide includes manual handling, COSHH regulations and fire safety and awareness, all of which are essential for our staff to both know and work by.”
On a day to day basis Office cleaners come into contact with highly flammable, corrosive or hazardous substances, which if used incorrectly or inappropriately can cause significant damage to a human being. This could be the cleaner themselves or a staff member of the premises being cleaned.
Handling these chemicals is not the only health and safety issue at hand here, as inappropriate use of these materials may also result in an injury. For example, mopping a floor with a washing up liquid type substance will make the floor slippy and could result in an injury caused by a dangerous slippery floor.
Other illnesses and health hazards associated with workers providing cleaning services according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) include Dermatitis caused by skin irritants and allergic reactions to cleaning products or constant exposure to water. Other common complaints are musculoskeletal disorders like back pain, caused by repeated bending and lifting with strained or awkward positioning.
By providing their cleaners with intensive training sessions on the potential risks associated or commonly occurring within the cleaning services industry, Sloane Cleaning Services are proving not only to be the premier office cleaning company in London but a premier employer too.
A spokesperson concluded;
“Our cleaners are informed, well trained and importantly healthy, thanks to our dedication to preventing any health and safety issues from arising. This is not just beneficial to us but to our customers. Healthy office cleaners who are aware of their limitations and boundaries are office cleaners that turn up to work every day keeping our customers happy and us in business.”
