Carpet Cleaning Hackney is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for our employees, customers, and members of the public who may be affected by our carpet, rug, upholstery, and related cleaning services. This Health and Safety Policy sets out our approach to managing risks and complying with all relevant health and safety legislation and best practice guidance.
The aim of this policy is to prevent accidents, injuries, and work-related ill health arising from our cleaning operations in homes, offices, and commercial premises. We will take all reasonably practicable steps to identify and control hazards associated with our work, including the use of cleaning chemicals, electrical equipment, and machinery.
Overall responsibility for health and safety lies with the company management, who ensure that appropriate procedures, resources, and training are in place. Supervisors and team leaders are responsible for implementing this policy on site, ensuring that staff follow safe systems of work. All employees are required to take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions, and to cooperate fully with the company in meeting its legal and moral obligations.
We carry out regular risk assessments for our carpet and upholstery cleaning activities, including specific assessments for particular sites when necessary. These assessments consider hazards such as slips and trips, manual handling, use of electrical equipment, exposure to chemicals, noise, and working in occupied premises.
Findings from risk assessments are used to develop safe systems of work, method statements, and task-specific procedures. These are communicated to employees through training, briefings, and written instructions. Risk assessments and procedures are reviewed periodically and whenever new equipment, products, or working methods are introduced.
Our carpet cleaning services involve the use of detergents, pre-sprays, stain removers, and other cleaning solutions. We manage these substances in line with Control of Substances Hazardous to Health requirements. Safety data sheets are obtained from suppliers for all chemicals used, and COSHH assessments are completed to identify hazards and control measures.
We strive to select products that are effective while minimising environmental and health impacts wherever reasonably practicable. Chemicals are clearly labelled, stored safely, and used only in accordance with manufacturer instructions and company procedures. Staff are trained in safe dilution, application, storage, and disposal, and instructed never to mix incompatible products.
Our equipment, including carpet cleaning machines, vacuums, extraction units, and portable electrical tools, is maintained in a safe condition. Equipment is inspected regularly, and any item found to be defective is taken out of service immediately until repaired or replaced.
Employees receive instruction in the correct setup, operation, and shutdown of machinery, including safe use of electrical cables, avoiding trip hazards, and preventing overloading of sockets. Portable electrical equipment is only used when visually checked for damage, and any fault must be reported at once. Staff must follow lock-off or isolation procedures where applicable when cleaning or maintaining machines.
Carpet cleaning work may involve lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling equipment, hoses, and containers. To reduce the risk of strains and other injuries, we assess manual handling tasks and introduce aids such as trolleys, hose reels, and portable containers wherever possible.
Employees are trained in safe lifting techniques, correct posture, and the importance of not attempting to move loads that are too heavy or awkward. Team members are encouraged to ask for assistance when needed and to take regular short breaks when carrying out physically demanding tasks.
During cleaning work, floors may be wet or contain hoses and cables that create trip hazards. To reduce such risks, we arrange our equipment to minimise trailing leads, use warning signs to alert occupants to wet floors, and keep walkways as clear as possible.
Where work is carried out in customer premises, our technicians are trained to communicate clearly with occupants about restricted areas and to complete work in a way that reduces the time floors remain slippery. Spillages are cleaned promptly and safely, and we ensure that materials and tools are kept tidy at all times.
Where risks cannot be adequately controlled by other means, we provide appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection, and suitable footwear. Staff are instructed in the correct use, cleaning, and storage of PPE and are required to wear it whenever indicated by risk assessments or site rules.
PPE is inspected regularly and replaced when damaged or worn. Employees must report any defects in PPE immediately and must not undertake tasks without the required protection.
We recognise that competent, informed staff are essential for maintaining safe working conditions. All employees receive induction training that covers our health and safety policy, emergency arrangements, use of equipment, chemical safety, and site-specific rules. Ongoing training and refresher sessions are provided as needed when new methods or products are introduced or where additional instruction is required.
We encourage employees to report any health concerns that may affect their ability to carry out work safely. Where appropriate, we will adjust tasks or provide additional support to protect their wellbeing and that of others.
All accidents, incidents, and near misses must be reported to management as soon as possible, whether they occur at our base or at customer premises. Records of such events are kept and reviewed to identify trends and areas for improvement. Where required, incidents are reported to relevant authorities in line with statutory requirements.
Staff are briefed on emergency procedures, including fire evacuation, first aid arrangements, and dealing with chemical spillages. On customer sites, our employees will familiarise themselves with local emergency arrangements and follow the procedures in place at that location.
We recognise the importance of involving employees in health and safety matters. Staff are encouraged to raise safety concerns, suggest improvements, and participate in discussions about safe working practices. We will consider all feedback carefully and respond with appropriate action.
This Health and Safety Policy is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains current and effective in light of changes to legislation, industry standards, our services, and the nature of the locations in which we operate. Updated versions are communicated to all staff so that safe, high-quality carpet and upholstery cleaning is delivered consistently to every customer we serve.
