A&A SmartClean: COSHH Policy
A&A SmartClean require that all cleaning
materials used must be of an approved range and the
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:
A&A SmartClean 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.
