Competent cleaning doesn't cost, it pays

Legal actions following an injury at work can be very damaging to any business, especially where the public are involved. It can cost them their reputation and their bank balance. The cost to industry is really high, but the cost and suffering to those that are injured is incalculable. The right type of floor cleaning plays a big part in preventing slip and trip accidents, so what sort of preventative measures can be taken with floor cleaning to reduce the risk of accidents?

• When planning a refurbishment or new build consult with experts on the best type of flooring for the venue/area
• Floor surface contamination including water, oil, dirt and dust is often a cause of slip accidents. Regular cleaning to remove contamination will reduce accidents
• Professional cleaning using the right equipment and machines can prevent slip and trip hazards to people entering the area being cleaned, including the cleaners themselves. For example smooth floors that have been mopped are likely to be very slippery. The use of a scrubber drier will ensure floors are left spotless and more importantly completely dry. Trailing wires from a vacuum or cleaning machine can present a trip hazard. The use of battery powered machines will prevent this.

However, using the right machines is just part of the process. If the cleaners are not trained in using the machines correctly then the problem could magnify.
