GENERAL 1. Risk Management

Cleaning requires the use of chemical agents, which may be potentially dangerous. Under COSHH employers are required to protect their staff and others who may be exposed to these chemicals. Each cleaning task should be risk assessed and specific precautionary measures should be incorporated into the method statement and incorporated into the technical training. COSHH sets out the following basic measures:  Asses the risks  Decide what precautions are necessary  Ensure that control measures are used and maintained  Monitor the exposure  Carry out appropriate health surveillance  Prepare plans and procedures to deal with accidents, incidents and emergencies  Ensure employees are properly informed, trained and supervised

Sa m

The actions arising from the COSHH risk assessment will include: 

   

The maintenance and issue of up to date COSHH sheets relating to each of the chemical products used on the premises, including the actions to be taken in the event of an incident/accident Insistence of when to wear appropriate PPE for each task The labelling of chemical containers The storage of chemical products in a secure area, that is inaccessible to Service users Regular inspection of the use and storage of chemicals in use

1.2 Cleaning risk assessment: it is the Home Managers responsibility to undertake a risk assessment of all activities, tasks and procedures carried out by the cleaning staff, and if necessary to take measures to eliminate or reduce the risk. A hazard is anything that may cause harm and a risk is the chance high or low, that the hazard could cause serious or minor harm to someone. It is recommended that a five step process should be followed:     

Identify the hazard Decide who might be harmed and how Evaluate the risk and decide on precautions Record the findings and implement them Review the assessment and update if required

Care of Cleaning Equipment After Use

ATP Swabbing: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an enzyme that is present in all living cells, and an ATP monitoring system can detect the amount of organic matter that remains after cleaning an environmental surface, a medical device or a surgical instrument. ATP swabbing can be used as an indicator of environmental cleanliness and can be used as a training tool for cleaning staff to demonstrate areas that may need to be re-cleaned and the possible need for improvement in cleaning practices.
