Office Cleaning Equipment
Using colour codes for hygiene
Colour-coding is based on the idea of designating particular cleaning products and processes to consistent colour schemes.
It's purpose is to segregate equipment and procedures in order to prevent cross contamination in the home and workplace.
| 1: Make colour coding part of your employee induction training and continuous training programme. | 2: Monitor the colour-coding system on an ongoing basis to make sure it remains effective. | 3: Always start in the cleanest, least contaminated area leaving washrooms until last. |
