Safety is built into every aspect of Skweeky Kleen’s service. The health and wellbeing of our staff and the users of the buildings we clean is our top priority. We’re proud of our outstanding safety record, with strong RIDDOR results and a proactive approach that ensures risks are effectively controlled and incidents are extremely rare.
We work closely with health and safety experts Citation,
to stay fully compliant with the latest legislation, standards and best practice guidance.
Training and Compliance
- Manual handling and safe lifting
- Slip, trip and fall prevention
- COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) awareness
Our Contract Managers also receive training in statutory compliance and monitoring, helping ensure high standards are upheld across all contracts.
Each contract benefits from bespoke Risk Assessments and Method Statements, that guide safe delivery. These documents enable us to plan and resource each job correctly — creating a safer environment for your team and ours.
Equipment, Signage and PPE
All Operatives are equipped with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their cleaning tasks — such as gloves, aprons and eye protection. Clear hazard signage, such as wet floor signs, is used consistently to alert others of temporary risks.
All portable equipment undergoes Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and is maintained according to schedule. This ensures all tools are safe, reliable and fit for purpose.
Preventing Cross-Contamination
To help prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses, we follow the national colour coding system for cleaning materials. This ensures that tools used in one area are not used in another, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Our colour code:
- Blue – General low-risk areas (e.g. offices, corridors)
- Green – Food and bar areas
- Red – Washrooms and sanitary fittings
- Yellow – Clinical and healthcare environments
All mops, cloths, buckets and gloves are colour-coded and used in strict accordance with these standards
Partnering for a Safer Workplace
We know that safety doesn’t happen by chance — it’s the result of detailed planning, clear procedures and a culture of responsibility. Whether your premises are clinical, corporate or public facing, we’ll ensure that cleaning is carried out in a way that reduces risk and supports your organisation’s H&S policies.
From frontline staff to senior management, our teams are trained, equipped and accountable — so you can trust Skweeky Kleen to help create a clean and safe environment every day.
