Safety signs keep people safe

Risks should be controlled so that cleaners, and any other users of buildings, are kept safe and free from danger of injury.

Slips and trips

Slips and trips remain the single most common cause of major injury in workplaces. The process of cleaning has the potential to create many safety hazards, especially for those entering the area being cleaned, including the cleaners themselves. Frequent causes of accidents include freshly cleaned, smooth floors being left damp and slippery, or trailing wires from a vacuum or buffing machine, which can present a trip hazard. An effective cleaning regime requires a good management system to help you identify problem areas, develop and implement strategies for improvement, and evaluate the effectiveness of the changes made. Good communication is also needed at all levels to ensure the right action is taken – e.g. between equipment and chemical suppliers to clarify suitability of a product for the type of contaminant and floor.

Slip falls kill seven times more people than the flu.

Safety Signs

One of the most basic methods of defence against slip accidents, and one that is used all over the world, is the use of signage to warn of the presence of a risk. Some spillages may not always be visible to the naked eye, such as water, grease or wax, and placing a very visible sign in the area can sometimes be the difference between an accident occurring and being prevented. Signs prevent pedestrian access to an area, giving employees time to deal with the issue, something that’s even more useful at the moment, when staff may want to stay socially distant from customers due to the risks of coronavirus.

Even if they are not a completely failsafe preventative method against slips, they are a good way of encouraging caution to those nearby, and are visible evidence that your business is taking reasonable measures to prevent accidents.
