Posted By J Knight Hi Matthew, Look at HSG234 'caring for cleaners' from HSE Books, John

Posted By Stuart Nagle Matthew. Colour coding of equipment that is used for different tasks (much like canteens/kitchens) is an excellent way of ensuring that cleansing contractors toe the line with cleansing equipment. Equipment stores may be a problem for some, as often it will be necessary to ensure that equipment is stored within the facility to be cleansed, and this sometime causes problems, however with training and regular checks on work and performance, such initiatives usually have a good take-up, including from the contractor, as their staff do not have to clean the equipment out for use in other areas or lug it about thus also reducing manual handling and time spent in the lugging and cleaning equipment.... hence the tasks can be completed more efficiently...
