Please specify your objective with a description. It is very generous; nobody can help you. Industry type, required everything needs to be specified, etc.

Hi,

I have been trying a lot since day 1 to educate employees here in my org on the essentiality of staying clean. We are a software firm, and the employees here, though educated, lack basic etiquettes and are casual about cleanliness issues. The toilets, galleries, and workstations are kept shabby. Especially for toilets, I designed posters and have displayed an Instruction Manual in all of them. Still, the result is not that satisfactory.

Please guide with your inputs!

Hi Savitha,

a) Start with "WHO guidelines for handwashing." Depending on the sector, workers are given a minimum of 4-hour training on Handwashing practices.

b) Housekeeping is an integral component of the "Fire manual"; with good housekeeping, fires can be prevented to the best extent. Does your organization have a fire manual? For example, spills, cross storage of different substances together.

c) Does your organization impart training to electricians? Even this is an integral part of the Fire manual. For example, extension cords are simply not allowed beyond a 3-month duration. Electricians need to use "ground fault circuit interrupter" while doing any electrical work. Does your company provide them safety devices? Normally, people give them substandard rubber gloves. Arc flash is a major hazard; they need to have face masks, full-body suits, etc. Share more data on your company's day-to-day work, and I will help you in designing SOPs for the same.

I am certified in Good Hygiene Practices "GHP" from CII and have formats based on internationally valid best practices, yet they may be difficult to implement in the majority of companies here.

Training modules should be developed to train and raise awareness among employees for good housekeeping. Competition between different departments may be helpful.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

G'day to you,

I would like to obtain a housekeeping manual and training materials for room attendants for a five-star resort hotel. If you can assist me with this, I also require policies and procedures.

Thank you,
