Hi, what would you identify as hazards in housekeeping and cleaning risk assessment? I included: - slips, trips and falls - use of cleaning products - manual handling - cleaning of high level objects/ windows etc - use of electrical equipment - exposure to communicable diseases - collecting/ picking up sharp objects - storing arrangements
Is there anything else that you would add?
Thanks Kinga

Depending on the working arrangements and situation, there might also be lone working and/or violence. Otherwise that appears to me to cover it.

It also depends on what is being cleaned and where. For example, if its a food factory then combustible and inhalable dust may be an issue from a DSEAR and COSHH point of view. External cleaning may need to consider biological risks from the environment (bird droppings, rat urine etc.).

The only other thing (again location dependant) that I can think of would be noise. For exapmple, cleaning in a factory enviroment etc.
