The Hand Tools for Cleaning Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) sets out how to keep a workplace safe and hygienic when using hand tools for cleaning, with guidance to protect workers and uphold industry standards.

It covers the hazards (biological hazards, slips, trips and falls, and musculoskeletal disorders), the pre-operational inspection of tools, operator training, PPE, emergency response, biological hazard control, manual handling, safe use of wheelie bins, and maintenance and storage.

An employee training and induction register records who has been trained and their competencies.
