When it comes to industrial cleaning, people often think of  glass cleaning services on high-rise buildings, daily cleaning at factories and plants. These are all working  environments with many harsh labor safety regulations.

So what are the “unwritten” rules that both businesses and cleaning staff are forced to follow? Let’s find out in the article below:

Working conditions and harmful factors in industrial hygiene:

Before getting to the rules, you must really understand the risks that can occur during the industrial cleaning process.

These dangerous factors will cause unwanted accidents and affect workers’ health. Specifically:

• Physical factors such as temperature, humidity, noise, vibration, harmful radiation and dust.
• Chemical factors such as high concentration cleaning agents, toxic vapors, gases and dust.
• Biological factors such as bacteria and insects.
• Other unfavorable factors include high, cramped and unhygienic workplaces.

Principles to ensure occupational safety and industrial hygiene

Be strict right from the employee recruitment stage. Before starting work, employees must satisfy the following requirements:

• Good health, no history of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, high blood pressure or gout..
• Do not suffer from psychological diseases such as fear of heights.

Safe when preparing for industrial cleaning work

Before starting, workers must be properly trained on work procedures and how to respond to unexpected situations.

As you know, industrial cleaning includes many different items, which means it requires many different tools, equipment, and machinery to support. They are all invested to ensure worker safety. However, if there is a little confusion during use, it not only causes unsafe work but also leads to unnecessary damage.

In particular, industrial cleaning machines such as pressure washers and floor sanders have a higher risk of injury if you do not understand how to operate them.

In addition, workers must seriously check the equipment and safety of machinery and equipment before use. Labor protection gear must also be worn according to regulations.

Safety when performing cleaning work:

Please remember the following principles to ensure labor safety in all working conditions:

• For electronic devices such as electric meters, elevators, switches, absolutely do not use wet towels when cleaning.
• Objects that pose a risk of fire or explosion should absolutely not be brought into the workplace.
• Do not arbitrarily move furniture in the building.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before and during work.
• In particular, when carrying out cleaning work at height, businesses need to provide adequate protective gear and necessary cleaning tools. Employees must also comply with trained work procedures.

Note when using specialized chemicals:

Occupational safety is not only at the time of industrial cleaning, but also about protecting health throughout the working process.

Even though chemicals are guaranteed to have the least impact on health, if used for a long time and neglected in protection, there is still a risk of affecting health.

In particular, in case the body accidentally comes into direct contact with chemicals, workers need to quickly clean and treat immediately.

In addition, detergents used in industrial cleaning often have stronger bleach concentrations. So before using, you must know how to mix in the correct ratio.

Labor safety is an issue that is always of concern. Although it plays an extremely important role, not all service providers comply with regulations.

Therefore, you need to choose carefully if you need to use industrial cleaning services for your business.
