Posted By alice clark Are you by law able to use bleach in the work place. It is an office environment and the bleach is used in the toilets and sinks. We have done risk assessments for it and have carried out training to all of our house keeping staff.

Posted By CFT No law against using it in current UK legislation but as a Group we chose to not use the stuff years ago. There is now a plethora of fully bio-degradable environmentally kind products that will do a stirling job. You don't get white marks on all the carpets, you don't get Mrs Mop adding it to other products and creating chlorine gas (among other things) That was our risk assessment, control measure was don't have it on the premises. I have on a handful of occasions caught cleaning operatives sneaking some in to our properties with a reply on one occasion (it's the only clean one I can print), 'oh give it a break all this healf an safety malarkey, I've bin using breach fer years at ome an me an Albert have bin fine, mind you, come to think of it e does have asthma and he did pop his teeth in in one day' praps you might be right after all Mr!' I refer to an actual conversation; must have left a set of clean teeth though! CFT
