“Your safety is our number one priority.” This line seemed to be everyone’s national anthem, whenever and wherever you are. In many aspects of life, everything is all about safety. Having a cleaning business is one of the most dangerous and hardest jobs because of the accidents involved. No one can predict what is going to happen that is why it is very important to know the importance of safety. Cleaning workers are to face all types of dangers when performing their tasks.

Cleaning businesses’ common hazards include equipment, chemicals, and heat stress. There is a lot of training that needs to be done to employees making sure that the cleaning business complies with all safety requirements. Also, safety is everyone’s responsibility. There are hazards to cleaning services.  Not all these can be prevented however it is important to understand if these accidents happen and what needs to be done in order to be prevented.

Physical Hazards

These include exposure to falls and trips, hot and cold stress, noise hazards, radiation, and vibration hazards. In order to prevent, providing safety equipment to cleaning workers that would lessen their exposure to hazards is the answer.

Chemical Hazards

A lot of chemicals are being used when cleaning. Cleaning workers and people around them can inhale these toxic chemicals that can be health threatening. Though green chemicals are way better than other chemicals, there are still the right procedures to be followed using this. Correct chemical usage is a must.

Biological Hazards

These are organic substances that can bring harm to living organisms. Biological hazards come from viruses, bacteria, humans, animals, and even plants. Regular cleaning of the workplace is the number one prevention on this.

Stress

People don’t look at it as one of the hazards. However, this is very common to all of us. Management should be able to handle this in order to avoid working in a chaotic environment. People deal with different types of stress. Whenever stressed, workers tend to have poor performance. If there is no proper communication, good organization and proper equipment to be used most likely that the business will start to fall. Workers stay to where they feel valued.

Imagine working in an environment where you feel safe and protected. Hazards cannot be eliminated but prevented. In an establishment, a facility manager should also have procedures in place for proper cleaning of tools and regular cleaning. Training is valuable. This eliminates risks and also gives employees a clearer understanding of safety’s importance to cleaning. It also helps employees perform their jobs confidently knowing that they are fully aware of what to do.
