LESSON PREVIEW
(Communication-Concept Dev’t)

Regular maintenance of tools and equipment is an important and necessary

activity. The term maintenance covers many activities, including inspection, testing
and replacement. It has a vital role to play in reducing the risk associated with
workplace hazards and providing safer and healthier working condition.

This lesson will provide you knowledge and skills on how to maintain

READ AND STUDY

Maintenance of cleaning tools and equipment

Cleaning tools and equipment are widely used in household services and by
the housekeeping department in the hotels. Cleaning tools and equipment are
classified into two: electrical and manual.
LESSON 1 Module No. 1 Use of Cleaning Tools, Equipment, Supplies and Materials

Electrical Cleaning Equipment

Correct Maintenance of Tools and Equipment

A further part of a health and safety strategy is to maintain tools and

equipment regularly. This helps to identify safety problems before they become a
serious hazard. Only qualified people should carry out the maintenance. They should
also keep records of their inspections.

Employers are the one that conduct Risk Assessment that cover the setting
up, use and maintenance of tools and equipment at work. The risk assessment must
identify the environments in which workers will use the tools and equipment; any
local conditions that may affect safety; and how the workers will actually use each
item in practice.

By limiting risks, employers have some control over potential hazards.

Specifically, employers should:

• Place guards on machinery to protect fingers and limbs.

• Ensure that system controls have appropriate warning devices.
• Insist staff wear personal protective clothing as necessary.
• Arrange for maintenance when equipment is safely shut down and not
in use.
General Rules in the Use of Cleaning Equipment

1. Check the electrical appliances and equipment before use. Never use
any appliance that is defective.
2. Handle equipment with care.
3. Clean and store equipment in their custodial room immediately after use.
4. Empty dust bags of dry vacuum cleaners before they overload and after
each use.
