Commercial Cleaning Health and Safety Checklist

Walk through the proposed scope with your site contact. Identify traffic, wet floors, stairs, restricted areas, electrical equipment and activity that cannot be interrupted. Discuss safe working windows and escalation contacts.

Ask which products and equipment are proposed for each surface. Review safety data sheets, dilution, storage and handling requirements. Do not mix chemicals or treat an ordinary cleaning contract as permission to handle hazardous waste, asbestos or specialist contamination.

Request the relevant contractor documentation rather than assuming a certification or insurance policy exists. Agree required PPE, induction, supervision and responsibility for site-specific instructions. Any specialist work should be separately assessed before acceptance.

Plan wet-floor controls, ventilation, safe storage and access around trading hours. In food premises, identify food-contact surfaces and contamination restrictions. Cleaning is not automatically a certified disinfection, pest-control or food-safety service.

Agree immediate reporting for spills, damaged equipment, exposure and unsafe conditions. Keep completion records and an issue log. Review unresolved risks before restarting work and refer to Broadway Affiliated's safety policy alongside your own site requirements.
