Spills and Wet Weather
If the spill is caused by a leak from the ceiling:
- Do not stand under that area.
- Place wet floor signs immediately.
- Call your supervisor and ask for barricades to be delivered, and for the roof to be assessed for safety.
- Report it to the CMO and make note of it on an Incident Report.
On days when it is raining, mats and appropriate signage should be placed at all entrances as well as around travelators and escalators.
Wet floors can increase the number of incidents at a site, so it’s important to work as a team to help prevent an incident occurring as a result of wet weather.
Clean Laminate Office Flooring
It is well-known, from taking care of your workplace to ensure employees feel valued, to ensuring your premises gives the best first impression to your customers, making sure your flooring is in great condition is a critical task.
Laminate flooring is usually a very low maintenance option for workplaces but can show signs of damage and use really quickly without a professional care.
AM Retail Services will make sure to keep your laminate floor free of dust and debris, as well as will take care when removing sharp or larger debris. As these bits and pieces can scratch and damage laminate flooring, which may then require replacement.
OH&S Updates
Our quarterly OHS meeting was held on the 14th November 2022 using Microsoft Teams run by Louie with AM Retail managers and employee representatives. Attendees involved the following AM Retail Services management staff, Louie Karanikolos (admin manager), George Gasparinatos (Area manager) and employee representatives Donna Hughes, Wayne Hughes, Sharyn Khalil, and Jim Angelos.
