Abstract This publication is designed for all those involved in the management of health and safety in the cleaning industry. It will be useful for employers, managers/supervisors, health and safety personnel, trainers, safety and union representatives and cleaners themselves. Guidance is provided on recognising and controlling the manual handling and upper limb risks faced by cleaners at work. A number of case studies are also provided, focusing on how organisations have reached a solution. Many of the solutions suggested are simple cost-effective measures that were developed through co-operaton between supervisors, managers, safety representatives and cleaners. By applying the guidance in this book, work-related ill health and injuries suffered by cleaners can be significantly reduced.
