Avoiding Hazards with a Safe Janitorial Company




It is unfortunate that many professionals in our industry have been taught to believe the subject of health and safety is all about compliance with regulations.
When a facility service provider abides by prescribed regulations, the action is seen as something that needs to be done in order to follow the law. However, simply remaining compliant does not teach employers how to develop a health and safety program, nor does it offer suggestions on how to create a culture of health and safety in the workplace.
It has been said the establishment of a safety regulation is usually the result of a person losing their life. In other words, many regulations are created in response to a situation that has caused a person to die or become seriously injured or ill and to ensure that situation and outcome do not occur again.
However, there is more to health and safety than just following the law. There is a philosophy of health and safety based on the recognition, assessment, and control of hazards; this philosophy is easy to remember with the acronym REACH, although we won’t discuss each of the below steps in this particular order.
R stands for Recognition
E stands for 
A stands for Assessment
C stands for Control
H stands for Hazards.
