Cleaning Chemical Safety

By: Jean Hanson

As a cleaning business owner, you need to keep yourself and your employees safe by using cleaning chemical safety guidelines recommended by OSHA:

*Use environmentally friendly products or cleaning chemicals that are not considered hazardous.

*Use automated dispensers for cleaning chemicals to avoid employee contact with chemicals.

*Provide your employees with the appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) such as goggles and gloves when using cleaning chemicals.

*Ensure that chemicals that are not compatible with each other are not stored together (for example - ammonia and bleach should never be stored or used together). Check MSDS sheets.

*Every container needs to have a label.

*Avoid storing liquid chemicals on top shelves. Store them on lower shelves.
