A Clean Sweep - Safe Work Practices for Custodians

The purpose of this guide is to show ways of making custodial work safer and easier so that the risks of sprain and strain injuries are reduced. It is not possible to fix all things immediately. This requires constant attention and training. Sometimes new and better equipment is needed, and sometimes worker technique needs to be changed. In some cases both equipment and technique need to be changed. It is possible that newer and better solutions have and will become available. Staying tuned to the jobs that we do and the demands of the tasks within those jobs is important to solving the ongoing problems common to custodial work.
