Janitorial/Custodial Safety

May 17, 2017 By BlogPerson

From our friends at Accident Fund:

Janitorial/custodial workers play a key role in keeping the workplace operating safely. As they work to keep other employees and visitors safe, they often come into contact with hazards that increase their risk of injuries from slips/falls, material handling and chemical exposures. There are steps employer’s can take and general guidelines janitorial/custodial workers should follow to prevent unnecessary injuries.

General Janitorial and Custodial Safety Rules

• Do not obstruct exit pathways such as hallways or stairs.

• Use caution when mopping floors – use signage to mark wet/slippery floors. Also avoid upper torso twisting motions.

• Do not use chemicals that you have not been properly trained to use.

• Read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to understand the cleaning chemicals being used.

• Do not store flammable or combustible materials by boilers or other heat sources.

• Use care and proper handling techniques when dealing with hazardous trash such as broken glass, wires, rusty metals, etc.

• To move a load when your hands are full, use a cart and keep the load light. Never let a load obstruct your vision when traveling in hallways or stairways.

Daily Safety Focus – DSF – Four Easy Program Steps

April 13, 2017 By BlogPerson

Goal – For employees to “own” day-to-day workplace safety and understand the potential hazards associated with each job position.

Develop exposure lists for each job position, department or process:

  • List the major categories of safety hazards that are routinely encountered.
  • Include your employees in the process to ensure all potential hazards are included.

Develop major training points for each identified exposure:

  • List training points to control each safety hazard.
  • Keep the scope and detail of the training points minimal to ensure your employees are able to remember them easily.
  • An exposure list and corresponding training points are imperative to developing Daily Safety Focus (DSF).

DSF training for employees

  • Supervisors should provide DSF training to all employees under their direction.
  • Training should include provisions and review of the DSF with employees.
  • Direct employees should “own” DSF (e.g., commit the DSF to memory, consider the DSF daily, and act to implement DSF major training points).
  • Discuss the consequences for non-compliance with DSF with your employees.
  • Employees should sign a completion certificate stating they received DSF training.

Supervisory oversight of DSF

  • Observe work practices daily to monitor application of DSF.
  • Interact with employees to enforce/reinforce DSF compliance.
  • Promote employees’ ownership of DSF at every opportunity.
  • To maximize visibility of the DSF lists, post them in locations where they apply.
