Safety always includes use of equipment, executing cleaning tasks but it also includes safety of the cleaning personnel so that they don’t get hurt during any cleaning activity.
So let us start with a few pointers – 

• Cleaning agents - there are a number of cleaning agents used to clean and disinfect a number of places in a typical commercial building, like toilets, tankers, terrace, pipes etc. some of these agents could be concentrated chemicals which if touched with bare hands could burn your skin. Use of proper gears while using chemicals is a simple but an effective guideline in avoiding any silly accident.

• Handling of equipment – there is no count of the number and variety of cleaning equipment used by cleaners for Corporate Cleaning in Melbourne and elsewhere. All these equipment come with a set of guidelines for its use and safety. All cleaning companies should ensure that their resources are trained well enough to use all the necessary equipment and ensure that they follow all the safety procedures before and while using the machines. 

• Posture of the cleaning personnel – there are many cleaning personnel who need to lift and shift many equipment and items while cleaning activities. There are right postures for all those physical activities that the employees should necessarily be trained on because those postures avoid injury in the body especially critical areas like lower back or knees etc. 

• Reiterate the use of protective gear - cleaning resources often neglect wearing the protectives gears while executing critical cleaning activities, like wearing helmets and gloves or using eye glasses and many others. This results in injuries that at times could be extremely fatal.

• Safety signboards - slipping and falling could be the most common cleaning accident which could result in very dangerous injuries. All cleaning resources should necessarily place the relevant signboards for all the people around and not just the cleaning resources, so that any possible injury could be avoided.
