In the world of professional cleaning, maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and safety is paramount. At Bennett Cleaning Services, we take pride in our commitment to excellence, and one of the key pillars that set us apart is our strict adherence to the AS/NZS 4187:2003 standard.
This standard outlines guidelines for infection control and the management of healthcare-related services, and we extend its principles to all our cleaning services, including school cleaning and office/factory cleaning.
Understanding AS/NZS 4187:2003
The AS/NZS 4187:2003 standard serves as a comprehensive guide to infection control in healthcare and similar facilities. While initially designed for medical environments, we recognize its value across various industries, including school cleaning and office/factory cleaning. This standard encompasses practices to prevent the spread of infections, ensuring the well-being of occupants and visitors.
Chemical Handling and Usage Spreadsheet
In addition to color coding, AS/NZS 4187:2003 emphasizes proper chemical handling and usage. To maintain utmost transparency and safety, we maintain a detailed spreadsheet of all the chemicals used in our cleaning processes. This spreadsheet includes essential information such as chemical names, safety data sheets, appropriate areas of use, and usage guidelines
By meticulously documenting our chemical usage, we ensure that our team is well-informed and trained in the proper handling, storage, and disposal of cleaning agents. This not only protects the health and well-being of our team but also contributes to the overall safety of the environments we clean, including schools, offices, and factories.
Color Coding for Cross-Contamination Prevention:
- One of the fundamental aspects of AS/NZS 4187:2003 is the color coding system. This system assigns specific colors to different cleaning tools and equipment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between areas. At Bennett Cleaning Services, we rigorously follow this color-coded approach in all our cleaning tasks, from medical facilities to schools, offices, and factories.
- Red: High-risk areas, such as restrooms and toilets.
- Yellow: Isolation areas and spaces with moderate risk.
- Green: General cleaning areas, including offices, factories, and classrooms.
- Blue: Low-risk areas like corridors, hallways, and common spaces.
In conclusion, our adherence to the AS/NZS 4187:2003 standard, with a focus on color coding and chemical handling, demonstrates our unwavering commitment to hygiene, safety, and professionalism. From medical facilities to schools, offices, and factories, we ensure that our practices align with the highest standards, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
