Basic Guide to understanding the workings of the housekeeping services

Housekeeping is not just about cleanliness. It includes keeping the work areas neat and orderly, maintaining the halls and floors free of slipping and trip hazards, and removing waste materials and other fire hazards from work areas. It also requires paying attention to important details such as the layout of the whole workplace, aisle marking, the adequacy of storage facilities, and maintenance. Good housekeeping services are also a basic part of incident and fire prevention. Poor housekeeping practices frequently contribute to incidents. If the sight of paper, debris, clutter, and spills is accepted as normal, then other more serious hazards may be taken for granted.

Effective housekeeping is an ongoing operation: it is not a one-time or hit-and-miss clean-up done occasionally. Periodic panic clean-ups are way costly and ineffective in reducing incidents.

Benefits and requirements of the housekeeping teams:

  • better hygienic conditions leading to improved health
  • more effective use of space
  • reduced property damage by improving preventive maintenance
  • less janitorial work
  • improved morale
  • reduced handling to ease the flow of materials
  • fewer tripping and slipping incidents in clutter-free and spill-free work areas
  • decreased fire hazards
  • lower worker exposures to hazardous products (e.g., dust, vapors)
  • better control of tools and materials, including inventory and supplies
  • more efficient equipment clean-up and maintenance

A good housekeeping program plans and manages the methodical storage and movement of materials from point of entry to exit. It includes a material flow plan to ensure minimal handling. The plan also makes sure that work areas are not used as storage areas by having workers move materials to and from work areas as needed. Part of the plan could include investing in extra bins and more frequent disposal.

The costs of this investment could be offset by the elimination of repeated handling of the same material and more effective use of the workers' time. Often, ineffective or insufficient storage planning results in materials being handled many times and being stored in hazardous ways. Knowing the workplace layout and the movement of materials throughout it will help when planning work procedures.

Worker training is an essential part of any good housekeeping program. Workers need to know how to work safely with the products they use. They also need to know how to protect other workers such as by posting signs: e.g., "Wet - Slippery Floor" and reporting any unusual conditions.

Housekeeping order is maintained not achieved. Cleaning and organization must be done regularly, not just at the end of the shift. The regular collection, grading, and sorting of scrap contribute to good housekeeping practices. It also makes it possible to separate materials that can be recycled from those going to waste disposal facilities.

The housekeeping services can help companies in saving costs and growing in the right direction.
