Cleaning and Hygiene

A cleaner floor is a safer floor

A top chartered physiotherapist has asked employers to identify why accidents in the workplace happen and how they can be prevented in the future, the Health and Safety Executive reported.

Pauline Cole, who supports the HSE’s Shattered Lives campaign, said floor surfaces should be suitable for the work being done on them and they should be maintained and kept in a good condition. Obvious warning signs should also be visible when there is a change in flooring, like slopes and steps, while employees who notice workplace hazards should report them as soon as possible.

Some flooring surfaces are easier to maintain that others however. Studded Rubber floor tiles for example are durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for large floor areas.
