Cleaners Islington is committed to providing professional cleaning services in a way that protects the health, safety and welfare of our employees, clients, visitors and members of the public. This Health and Safety Policy sets out our approach to managing risks, maintaining safe working practices and complying with relevant health and safety legislation associated with cleaning activities.
We recognise that high standards of health and safety are essential to delivering consistent, reliable and professional cleaning services. Our management team accepts overall responsibility for ensuring that appropriate resources, information, instruction and supervision are provided so that work can be carried out safely and without risk to health.
All employees, contractors and supervisors are required to cooperate in implementing this policy and must ensure that they take reasonable care of themselves and others who may be affected by their work. Health and safety performance is a core measure of our service quality and business success.
Management is responsible for establishing and reviewing this policy, providing training, arranging risk assessments and ensuring that safe systems of work are implemented and maintained. Supervisors are responsible for monitoring day-to-day compliance, addressing hazards promptly and reporting any deficiencies or incidents.
Employees are responsible for following the training and instructions provided, using equipment and materials safely, reporting hazards, accidents and near misses, and cooperating with any investigation or corrective action. Where we work alongside clients or other contractors, we will communicate relevant safety information and cooperate to maintain safe working conditions.
Cleaners Islington carries out risk assessments for all significant cleaning activities and for each type of environment in which we operate, such as homes, offices, common areas and commercial premises. These assessments identify potential hazards, the people who may be affected and the measures required to reduce risks to an acceptable level.
Safe working procedures are developed based on these risk assessments and are communicated to all relevant staff. These may include measures such as using appropriate personal protective equipment, following safe manual handling techniques, managing cables and equipment to avoid trip hazards, and using warning signs to alert others to wet floors or restricted areas.
Cleaning chemicals and substances are selected and used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable safety guidance. We ensure that safety data sheets are available for all relevant products and that staff understand the associated hazards, safe handling procedures and emergency measures.
Chemicals are stored securely and in clearly labelled containers. Staff are trained to avoid mixing incompatible products, to use only the recommended quantities and dilutions, and to ventilate areas where strong products are being used. Where required by risk assessment, employees use gloves, eye protection or other suitable protective equipment.
All equipment provided by Cleaners Islington, including vacuum cleaners, floor machines, steam cleaners and other tools, is maintained in a safe and serviceable condition. Equipment is inspected regularly and removed from service if any safety concern is identified.
Employees may use only the equipment for which they have been trained and must follow operating instructions at all times. Cables and leads are managed to minimise trip hazards, and equipment is disconnected before cleaning, maintenance or transportation.
Manual handling tasks, such as lifting equipment, moving waste bags or relocating furniture, are assessed and planned to minimise the risk of injury. Staff receive guidance on safe lifting techniques, the use of trolleys or other aids and the need to avoid excessive loads.
We encourage employees to report any discomfort or difficulties associated with manual handling so that adjustments can be made. Wherever possible, we organise work to reduce repetitive strain, awkward postures or unnecessary handling tasks.
Cleaners Islington provides initial and ongoing health and safety training to all employees appropriate to their roles and the tasks they undertake. This includes induction training, instruction on safe use of chemicals and equipment, manual handling, personal protective equipment and emergency procedures.
Supervisors monitor working practices to ensure that training is understood and followed, and provide additional guidance where needed. We review and update training content when new equipment, substances, methods or legislation are introduced.
Where risks cannot be eliminated by other means, personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks, eye protection or footwear is provided. Employees must use this equipment as instructed, maintain it in good condition and report any defects immediately.
We assess the suitability of protective equipment for the tasks undertaken and ensure that replacements are provided promptly when items become worn or damaged.
All accidents, incidents, near misses and cases of work-related ill health must be reported to management as soon as practicable. We maintain appropriate records, investigate the circumstances and take corrective action to prevent recurrence.
Where required, we will notify the relevant authorities of reportable incidents. Findings from investigations are shared with staff, and risk assessments and procedures are updated as necessary.
Emergency procedures are in place for fire, serious injury, chemical spills and other significant incidents. Staff are trained in how to respond, including how to raise the alarm, evacuate the area, use basic spill control measures and summon medical assistance.
When working at client premises, we cooperate with the client’s own emergency arrangements, ensuring that staff know the relevant exits, assembly points and local procedures before commencing work.
We aim to protect the broader health and wellbeing of our workforce by managing working hours reasonably, providing access to welfare facilities where possible and encouraging staff to raise any concerns about health, stress or workload.
We do not tolerate bullying, harassment or discrimination. All employees are treated with respect and are expected to treat others in the same way. Any concerns will be investigated and addressed promptly.
Cleaners Islington regularly reviews this Health and Safety Policy to ensure it remains effective and reflects any changes in our operations, legislation or best practice. We monitor performance through site checks, staff feedback, incident reports and client comments.
Where improvements are identified, we implement them as part of our commitment to continuous enhancement of safety standards. This policy is communicated to all employees and is available to clients who wish to understand how we manage health and safety in the delivery of our cleaning services.
