Health and Safety


Safe Contractor accreditation
Approved Spotless Cleaning Services have achieved accreditation in the National Britannia Safe Contractor scheme. This involves a yearly in-depth review of all our Health and Safety procedures and policies including our Risk Assessments to ensure that we meet current legislation in all areas of our cleaning operation. Achieving accreditation in this nationally recognised scheme also ensures that our staff are working in a safe environment.

C.O.S.H.H.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1994 (as amended). We, as a company, are deeply concerned with regard to the Health and Safety of our staff, our customers and the environment. Our company recommends the use of biodegradable products. Data sheets covering the biodegradable products or standard products will be displayed in the customer's premises, and used for practical and educational purposes.


Electricity at Work Regulations
The 1989 Regulations make it a requirement that precautions be taken against the risk of death or personal injury from electricity in work activities. To ensure that a safe environment exists for our customers and their staff, and staff members of Approved Spotless Cleaning Services, our company safety precautions include daily, weekly, monthly and six-monthly inspections of all electrical equipment. All inspections are carried out in accordance with the Regulations.


Staff Identification
All cleaning employees on location are provided with distinctive protective company overalls designed to combine smartness with practicability. On locations where Security Officers are provided by the customer all employees are issued with identification cards for safety and security reasons, these cards are issued by the Security Of ficer on arrival at site. This accountability procedure informs the Security Of ficer of the exact number of cleaning personnel on location at all times. Should the above not be practical, a register designed to be a formal record of attendance and cleaning comrnents will be kept on each site. The Supervisors will check this register daily and act upon any comrnent therein.
