Management systems

  • Plan: work with your employees to identify potential problem areas and set goals for improvement.
  • Train: give your employees the knowledge to identify and take action over potential risks.
  • Organise: make employees, including cleaning and contract staff, responsible for specific areas.
  • Control: ensure working practices and processes are being carried out properly and keep a record of all cleaning and maintenance work.
  • Monitor and review: talk to your employees so they can feedback on how measures are working.
