rrp/2020
 What I Need to Remember

Room check is indispensable for ensuring the overall quality of the

room. The preparation must be in compliance with the guests’ needs and be
perfect in all areas: hygiene, tidiness and comfort. Before a new guest
checks in, the head housekeeper or her assistant must check all rooms to
ensure that they are in a proper state. In certain establishments auto-
control allows the chambermaids to oversee this responsibility without the
approval of the head housekeeper (she may check one or two rooms only).

The first thing that most of the people indulge in after waking up
is been made properly making up the bed. A room looks untidy unless until
the bed has been beddings include: fitted sheets, flat sheets, comforter,
blanket, pillows, pillow case and bed pad.

Titles of the Activity 1.7 “HANDLE IT! WITH CARE”

Learning Competency 1.7: Demonstrate proper handling of guests’ requests in

housekeeping following safety and security standards. (TLE_HEHK9-12HS-Ia-e-1)

What I Need to Do

In this activity, you demonstrate proper handling of guests’ request in

housekeeping following safety and security standards. To answer the self-check
exercise, you can use the given space provided. You can also use the scoring
rubrics for the evaluation of your performance activity.

Gearing Up

Read and familiarize the safety and security measures in housekeeping.

Managers must train employees to recognize potentially hazardous

conditions and take corrective actions before they cause injuries like sprains,
strains, falls;

                - Wet floors and slippery walkways

                - Messy floors

                - Equipment left out in the way

                - Improper lifting techniques

Best practices for handling chemicals, proper personal protective

equipment selection, material handling, and slip, trip, and fall prevention are
discussed. Readers will gain an understanding of how to identify at-risk situations
and how to avoid serious injury or illness.

xv
rrp/2020
 OCCUATIONAL HAZARDS
Walking Squatting Twisting Pushing
Standing Kneeling Crouching
Stooping Stretching Lifting

The above are only sample situations where the body is under
pressure. There is countless number of other situations that truly challenge
housekeeping personnel.

Reducing the Physical Stress

The question then arises, how we reduce the physical stress on housekeeping
personnel. The following suggestions are useful to keep in mind.

1. Lighter equipment can reduce work. Heavy equipment must be on castors.

Portability helps greatly in work management.
2. Modern Detergents help in cleaning with a swipe that may eliminate tedious
scrubbing.
3. Job Rotation
4. Team Work.
5. Education and Training in safe work practices must be part of ongoing
agenda.

Work Hazards and Prevention.

Let us examine the areas in housekeeping operation when accidents take place:

Falls from slippery floors make shift ladders: Put the sign “Wet Floor” this
protects both the guest and staff.
Cuts from broken glass in linen bundles and garbage: Any heap of linen
or garbage is a potential hazard for broken glass or exposed syringes.
Back Pains from improper working postures: Back pains are a common
complaint due to the pressure on their backs while doing their daily chores.
Breathing problems and burns from the use of hazardous chemicals and
detergents: Housekeepers normally use mild detergents for daily use.
Electrocution from live electric wires and improper maintenance and
use of equipment: Housekeeper must ensure the equipment she buys has
the ISI stamp of safety.
Injuries due to improper work habits: Smoke only in designated area,
never in the elevator. Ensure elevators are never overloaded.
Working at height: Any work which is carried above 5ft height requires a
ladder.

 What I Need to Remember

Housekeeping in a hotel is a very physically demanding job. The personnel

are on their feet for a full shift of 8 hours during which they perform various tasks
that are demanding for the body. Housekeeping has the largest workforce in the
hotel. It is therefore, imperative for the housekeeper to ensure safe conditions and
practices in the department.

Housekeepers are exposed to a variety of hazards while on the job and

perform a variety of tasks throughout their work shift. Proper training to identify
hazards and risks associated with these tasks will help prevent employee injury.
