At Priority Cleans, we understand that professional cleaning isn’t just about appearances — it’s about safety, hygiene, and compliance. Whether you’re maintaining a commercial office, healthcare facility, school, or industrial space, adhering to health and safety standards is non-negotiable. Not only does it protect your clients and employees, but it also safeguards your business from legal risks and reputational damage.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to ensure compliance with current health and safety regulations in the cleaning industry and how Priority Cleans helps clients meet — and exceed — these standards.
1. Stay Updated on Local and National Regulations
Health and safety guidelines are constantly evolving. From COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations in the UK to OSHA standards in the US, it’s crucial to stay informed.
What we do at Priority Cleans:
- Regularly review updates from regulatory bodies.
- Train staff on new compliance protocols as regulations change.
- Tailor our services to meet sector-specific standards (e.g., medical-grade disinfection for healthcare).
2. Implement Thorough Staff Training
Proper training is the foundation of compliance. All staff should be well-versed in:
- Safe handling of chemicals
- Use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
- Emergency response protocols
- Equipment maintenance and safety checks
Our approach:
At Priority Cleans, we conduct routine training sessions and audits to ensure every team member understands and practices safe cleaning methods.
3. Use Certified and Safe Cleaning Products
Using approved, eco-friendly, and non-toxic products not only ensures compliance but also contributes to a healthier environment.
Our commitment:
- We only use cleaning products that meet industry safety certifications.
- We maintain an updated Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for every chemical used on site.
- We promote sustainable practices by choosing green alternatives where possible.
4. Maintain Proper Documentation
Documentation isn’t just for audits; it proves diligence. This includes:
- Risk assessments
- Incident reports
- Cleaning schedules
- Equipment maintenance logs
How Priority Cleans supports you:
We provide digital documentation for every service, including checklists and safety reports that align with your industry’s standards.
5. Conduct Regular Audits and Risk Assessments
Routine evaluations help identify potential hazards before they become issues. Whether it’s a slippery floor or improper chemical storage, audits are key.
Priority Cleans’ proactive stance:
- Regular internal audits by our compliance team
- Client site inspections to ensure service consistency
- Immediate corrective action for any identified risk
Conclusion
Compliance with health and safety standards is more than a requirement — it’s a responsibility. At Priority Cleans, we take this responsibility seriously, offering peace of mind to our clients through expert service, staff training, and a culture of safety.
