Mid Shires IOSH Community - Cleaning: easier said than done

Join Mid Shires IOSH Community to explore cleaning challenges, boost health and safety, and see how small changes deliver big results.
About this Event

In general, the most informed staff in any situation are the cleaning operatives. They see, hear and understand far more than they are credited for. They are the frontline of public health, making sure workplaces are clean and hygienic for users. They are also much more than this, with skills that often go unrecognised or unused.

In terms of Health and Safety, they can be your best advocate or your biggest challenge. Isn’t it time we recognised their potential and used it to promote good practice?

This session will explore:

How to use this workforce to strengthen Health and Safety protocols on site
What steps should be taken and how to implement them simply across multiple properties
Key considerations for cleaning safely and effectively
How small changes can bring big results, including cost savings, time savings and improved standards
Any cleaning-related questions the audience would like answered

With the BICSc (The British Institute of Cleaning Science) at their training centre, learn more about cleaning standards and the value of cleaning operatives.
