Why occupational safety is a key issue in cleaning
The work of cleaning staff is traditionally considered one of the most vulnerable in terms of occupational safety. Employees face a multitude of factors that create hazardous conditions on a daily basis:
Physical strain — constantly carrying equipment, working with heavy floor cleaning machines, and having to wash large areas by hand;
Contact with chemicals — using cleaning and disinfecting agents, often without proper protection;
Psycho-emotional stress — working under time pressure, in crowded places, with minimal breaks;
Increased risk of injury — slipping, tripping, bumping into corners or furniture, especially when cleaning under time pressure.
These risks not only pose a threat to the health of employees, but also lead to staff turnover, reduced motivation, and increased costs for the employer. That is why today's most important business task is to minimize these threats through technological solutions, including the introduction of cleaning robots.
