Importance of using Safety signs when cleaning restroom floors
Large Office Cleaning
Our cleaning signs and labels let people know when restrooms are closed for cleaning. These signs are available in a variety of styles, materials and sizes.
Restroom signs and labels remind users to keep restrooms clean and keep visitors away from potential hazards during cleaning
Place restroom rules and cleaning signs and labels in public or employee restrooms, especially the ones that get dirty quickly
You must ensure that your employees and anyone else who could be affected by your work (such as visitors and members of the public), are kept safe from harm. You must assess the risk from slips and trips and take reasonable precautions.
- Slips and trips remain the single most common cause of major injury in Australian workplaces.
Some companies have a cleaning schedule for their work employees to stick to. However, it does not work for most of them.
As there is always that one person who won’t do their best and just wipe down the sides with a bit of kitchen roll and pretend the cleaning is done properly.
AM Retail Services provides a professional cleaning service keeping your office spick and span every single morning you come to work.
Additionally, this will also give your employees more time to get on with their work and also get back home to their families at the end of the day without having to stay for cleaning schedule.
