How to keep your<br />

cleaning staff safe<br />

Some of the most common<br />

workplace injuries<br />

occur among janitorial and<br />

housekeeping staff - and<br />

most can be avoided by<br />

ensuring workers to abide<br />

by a few simple rules:<br />

• Wear proper clothing<br />

and shoes.<br />

Depending on the duties involved, this<br />

may include the latest gloves or a back<br />

brace.<br />

• Be conscious of your surroundings.<br />

Check to see whether floors are wet or<br />

items have been left where they could<br />

cause a fall.<br />

• Don’t create makeshift stools.<br />

Many injuries occur when workers fall<br />

from chairs, tabletops, or other surfaces<br />

that weren’t meant to be used<br />

as step stools. Make sure workers use<br />

ladders and other appropriate equipment<br />

to access hard-to-reach areas.<br />

• Lift with a partner.<br />

Don’t attempt to lift a heavy load alone.<br />
