SOP · SOP-60077

  • Version 4

The Cleaning Private Residences Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a tool for businesses that want to keep residential cleaning safe and efficient. It gives a framework for carrying out cleaning activities safely and effectively.

It covers the hazards (dust, electricity, mould, slippery floors, cleaning chemicals and manual handling), the PPE to wear, operator training, chemical handling, pre-operational inspection of power equipment and step-by-step instructions for cleaning kitchens, bedrooms and living areas, with a bleach dilution table.

An employee training and induction register records each worker's induction, training and competency.
