Deep Kleen Services: COSHH Policy
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health.
Deep Kleen Services require that all cleaning materials used must be of an approved range, and that suppliers must provide full safety data sheets for each item.
Company employees are not allowed to use any cleaning chemicals until they have received the necessary training and are fully aware of the relevant COSHH regulations. Every employee has a responsibility to see that these regulations are adhered to at all times.
New or updated COSHH data information is made available to all employees in accordance with our continuous training policy. Managers have a responsibility to ensure that every person using substances that may be hazardous to health is fully aware of COSHH regulations.
Materials handling and storage will comply with any special manufacturer’s instructions in addition to those supplied with the relevant COSHH data sheet.
Plant and Equipment
Deep Kleen Services supply new machinery and equipment incorporating the latest technology, proven reliability and to the appropriate British Standard. Electrical equipment is regularly inspected and complies with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
The condition of all plant and equipment is carefully monitored by our managers and supervisors and, in case of breakdown or failure, will be repaired by our qualified staff or replaced from reserves held specifically for this contingency.
All employees using plant and equipment will have received training in its use, storage and maintenance requirements in accordance with our training policy.
These measures are designed to ensure that equipment failure rates are kept to a minimum and that if a breakdown occurs there is minimal disruption to the cleaning programme.
