This Health and Safety Policy sets out the commitments and procedures that Cleaners Finchley follows to protect the wellbeing of our employees, clients, visitors and members of the public who may be affected by our cleaning services. Our aim is to provide a safe working environment and to deliver cleaning services in a way that minimises risks, prevents accidents and promotes good health.
Cleaners Finchley complies with all applicable health and safety legislation and recognised industry standards for professional cleaning activities. We review this policy regularly to ensure it remains current, effective and aligned with legal and best practice requirements.
Senior management at Cleaners Finchley has overall responsibility for health and safety within the business. This includes establishing clear procedures, providing adequate resources, monitoring performance and promoting a culture where safety is an integral part of daily operations.
Management will ensure that appropriate risk assessments are carried out for cleaning tasks, equipment and materials. Necessary control measures are implemented and communicated to all relevant staff. We aim to eliminate risks where reasonably practicable and, where this is not possible, to reduce them to the lowest acceptable level.
Every employee has a duty to take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions or omissions. Staff must follow all safety instructions, use the equipment provided correctly, and cooperate with Cleaners Finchley in meeting its health and safety obligations.
Employees are required to report hazards, near misses, incidents and any defects in equipment or materials immediately to their supervisor or manager. No employee should attempt any task for which they have not been trained or that they believe to be unsafe. Any concerns about working conditions or health and safety practices should be raised without delay.
Cleaners Finchley provides health and safety training appropriate to each role. This includes induction training for new starters, task-specific instruction, and refresher training as needed. Topics covered may include safe use of cleaning chemicals, manual handling techniques, use of personal protective equipment, equipment operation and emergency procedures.
Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that employees understand and follow the training they receive. Additional supervision is provided for new or inexperienced staff and for higher-risk tasks. Where cleaning takes place in complex or sensitive environments, such as healthcare or food preparation areas, enhanced training and controls are applied.
Before commencing work at a client site, Cleaners Finchley assesses the tasks to identify potential hazards such as slips and trips, manual handling risks, electrical hazards, exposure to substances and risks to vulnerable individuals. We then implement appropriate control measures, which may include restricted access, signage, safe systems of work and use of specific equipment.
Safe working procedures are documented and communicated to staff. These cover areas such as safe use of ladders and step stools, cleaning at height within safe limits, handling waste, working near electrical equipment, and maintaining clear walkways. Staff are required to follow these procedures at all times and to adjust their work methods if conditions change.
Cleaners Finchley manages cleaning chemicals in accordance with applicable regulations and manufacturer guidance. We only use products that are suitable for professional cleaning tasks and that have been assessed for risks to health and the environment.
Material safety information is obtained for all relevant substances and used to complete risk assessments. Where necessary, personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection or masks is provided and must be worn as instructed. Chemicals are stored securely, clearly labelled, and used strictly in accordance with instructions regarding dilution, application and ventilation.
Personal protective equipment is provided where risks cannot be adequately controlled by other means. This may include gloves, protective footwear, eye protection, masks or other items appropriate to the task. Employees are required to use PPE correctly, keep it in good condition and report any damage or defects.
Cleaners Finchley ensures that PPE is suitable for the individual and the work being carried out. Where necessary, guidance is given on fitting, maintenance and replacement. PPE is not a substitute for safe systems of work but an additional layer of protection.
Manual handling tasks, such as moving cleaning equipment, waste bags and supplies, are assessed to reduce the risk of injury. Staff receive training on correct lifting techniques, use of trolleys and avoidance of unnecessary lifting or carrying. Heavy or awkward loads are avoided wherever practicable.
All equipment supplied by Cleaners Finchley, including vacuum cleaners, floor machines and other tools, is maintained in a safe condition and inspected regularly. Employees are instructed in the correct use of each item of equipment and must not use damaged or defective items. Any faults must be reported and the equipment taken out of service until repaired or replaced.
Our cleaning practices are designed to support high standards of hygiene and to limit the spread of infection. This includes the use of appropriate disinfectants, colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination, and safe handling of sanitary and clinical waste where applicable.
Employees are expected to maintain good personal hygiene, including regular handwashing, and to follow any additional site-specific infection control requirements requested by the client. During periods of increased public health concern, Cleaners Finchley may introduce enhanced protocols such as additional disinfection of touch points and the use of extra protective measures.
All accidents, incidents and near misses must be reported to management as soon as possible, whether they involve Cleaners Finchley employees, client staff or members of the public. Records are kept and incidents are investigated to identify root causes and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
Employees are briefed on emergency procedures relevant to the premises in which they work, including fire evacuation, first aid arrangements and how to raise the alarm. When working at client locations, staff must comply with the client’s emergency plans as well as Cleaners Finchley internal procedures.
When delivering services at client sites, Cleaners Finchley respects and cooperates with the client’s own health and safety rules. We coordinate with client representatives where necessary to ensure that our work does not create unacceptable risks to others on the premises.
Where clients have specific requirements, such as security procedures, restricted areas or specialist equipment, these are communicated to our staff and incorporated into our safe working practices. Any conflicts between procedures are discussed with the client and resolved before work proceeds.
Cleaners Finchley encourages open communication about health and safety. Employees are invited to contribute suggestions for improving safety and to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. Feedback from staff and clients is used to refine our procedures and training.
This Health and Safety Policy is reviewed regularly and updated whenever there are significant changes in legislation, work practices or the nature of the services we provide. The latest version is made available to employees and clients on request.
By implementing this policy and working together, Cleaners Finchley aims to maintain a safe, healthy and professional cleaning service for all parties involved.
