What are the potential risks to myself and my staff?

Depending on the nature of your working environment, and the work required, there are a multitude of risks that a cleaning contractor business is exposed to. These include:

Chemical Exposure
Many cleaning contractors will use a variety of cleaning products, with most created with an industrial application in mind. These higher strength cleaning chemicals can be dangerous for workers if inhaled, ingested or otherwise exposed to. Common ailments as a result of chemical exposure include:

Severe skin or eye irritation.
Respiratory infection or failure.
Nervous systems, kidney and liver complications.
Allergic reactions or skin disease from contact with disinfectants.
Fire hazards from flammable cleaning products.

Work-Related Illnesses
Working and cleaning in multiple residences and commercial properties means cleaning staff are at risk of a number of illnesses. Through contact with bacteria, viruses, insects, waste and bodily fluids certain complications can occur. These include:

Bloodborne Viruses – Often from environments where needles are present, and commonly within cleaning in the healthcare sector.
Asbestos Exposure – Cleaning older buildings can lead to exposure to asbestos in insulation, pipes and other areas of buildings leading to lung cancers and complications.
Pathogen Exposure – Cleaners that deal with human or animal waste are at risk of exposure to pathogenic organisms, like salmonella or E. coli.

Slips & Trips
In the process of carrying out jobs, both workers and building occupants can be at risk of serious injury from slips, trips and falls. Potential hazards and injuries include:

Fractures, bruising and broken bones.
Trips and falls on unmarked wet surfaces, in unlit areas or due to spillage.
Falls caused by objects like cleaning equipment or cables.
Serious injury as a result of falling down flights of stairs.

Machine & Equipment Hazards
Machine failure or improper use can result in severe injuries for both the cleaning operator and any residents or occupants of the building. Additional risks can include suffering electric shocks from faulty or misused equipment, furthermore, improper storage of such equipment can result in substantial property damage.

Work-Related Illnesses
Working and cleaning in multiple residences and commercial properties means cleaning staff are at risk of a number of illnesses. Through contact with bacteria, viruses, insects, waste and bodily fluids certain complications can occur. These include:

Working At Height
In the case of cleaning contractors, in particular external window cleaners, working at height is a necessity. This opens up to the risk of severe injury or death as a result of falling from a significant height, often as a result of poor safety practices or faulty equipment.

Lone Working
Within commercial environments often cleaning companies will operate after or before hours. This level of isolation can result in increased chances of verbal or physical abuse either from members of the public or a potential attacker.

Bloodborne Viruses – Often from environments where needles are present, and commonly within cleaning in the healthcare sector.
