I have recently set up a contract cleaning company in Northern Ireland. I would like to team up with other contract cleaning companies to discuss matters such as staff Health & Safety policies, risk assessments on commercial buildings etc.
I also have staffing problems in relation to work. i.e. a staff member refused to clean mens toilets in a factory for our main customer as it was a 'horrible job'. Do I have any rights to not allow my staff to pick and choose certain tasks? Job description includes cleaning of toilets.
I would be grateful if anyone would like to share any information on the above issues.
Kind regards
Michelle

Michelle this is more an HR issue than a H&S issue.

As an ex MD of a Cleansing Svs Group (rtd 1999)I came across this on frequent occasions; it is a difficult call because to be honest if you are employed as a WC cleaner then I feel it is fair to accept one may come across dirty toilets. Perhaps a change in frequency of cleaning or a word with the client or perhaps if the contract warrants it a full time placement to look after the WC.s replenish toilet rolls/soap.hand towels etc.
I suppose in honesty I had a few jobs and a few operatives that this happened to; perfect answer? I never found it.

Have you tried contacting the British Institute of Cleaning Science? (www.bics.org.uk)
