Monthly audits are carried out to ensure the cleaning is carried out in accordance with safe working practices and any site-specific requirements.

Risk Assessment

A risk assessment audit is carried out for each site by the Operation Manager, the Supervisor and the Cleaner. The process followed is:

Identification - Identify all risks that could cause injury or illness in the workplace.

Assessment - Assess the risks and prioritise in order of high risk to low risk.

Control - Identify and implement the best method of controlling identified risks.

Northern Contract Cleaning’s supporting principles for OH&S and Risk Assessment are:

   All injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented.
   Each manager and supervisor is responsible for administering safety, risk management and accident          prevention programs - and are evaluated accordingly.
   Each employee must follow safe working practices with regard for themselves, their fellow employees,          and members of the public.
   Training is an essential element for a safe working environment.
   Safety performance reviews are a continuing process.
   Injuries, unsafe practices and incidents with injury potential must be investigated.
