Course Overview
This module Workplace Safety and Health Practices Implementation is developed to train cleaning professionals in applying WSH for the cleaning industry by providing them with basic occupational health and safety training. This allows them to perform cleaning services safely in accordance to workplace safety and health policies and procedures.
Where cleaning work is contracted out, there can be additional difficulties as the client company and the cleaning company need to liaise and share knowledge to ensure that risks are identified and eliminated or controlled particularly hazards and risks; assess the risks to cleaning workers and implement preventive measures; share knowledge with all relevant parties, including the client company, the cleaning contractor and the workers themselves.
Cleaning work is seldom seen as a core activity in businesses. This can result in a lack of awareness of the hazards and risks associated with cleaning and so a failure to carry out an adequate risk assessment and implement protective measures. Common hazards, risks, and health outcomes include risk of slips, trips and falls, particularly during ‘wet work’; exposure to hazardous chemicals in cleaning materials; other risks such as electric shock, from work equipment.
Cleaning workers and personnel will be better able to understand the WSH Act and its implications for maintaining workplace safety and health and recognize their role in making their work environment safe for themselves and other customers, abide by their organisation’s SOPs, policies and procedures, recognize and report unsafe work practices and assist in safety planning and able to report incidents of safety hazards, workplace accidents to the respective stakeholders.
