TOP CLEANING CONCERNS: WE ASKED YOU...

As a custodial care worker, manager and/or business owner, your top cleaning concerns may vary according to your operation.

Some concerns identified have been in the area of worker safety and well-being. These include ergonomics (with respect to back injuries and proper lifting methods) and the use of hazardous equipment. Workers also expressed concerns with the risks of blood and human waste clean-ups/hazardous chemicals, lead paint and asbestos and sick building syndrome (dust irritants, pet odors, poor ventilation, allergic reactions and poor cleaning methods).

The maintenance worker has also indicated a clear desire to promote a professional image. As a result of advances in the industry, custodial workers will have to project a professional image, be expert at their job and interact with the public.
