Commercial Cleaning Work

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for commercial cleaning tasks, including handling chemicals, mopping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and surface cleaning. Workers must have access to current Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all cleaning chemicals and use the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and non-slip footwear. Chemicals must be stored securely, away from heat and ignition sources, with spill kits available for emergencies.

Specific tasks require precautions like using color-coded cleaning equipment to prevent cross-contamination and employing safety switches (RCDs) for electrical appliances. Workers must avoid wet floors, manage power leads to prevent tripping, and ensure equipment is tested and tagged every six months. These measures ensure compliance with safety standards and protect workers from injuries and chemical exposure.
