Health & Safety Assurances

A clean, safe and hygienic workplace is not only a legal Health & Safety requirement, it can also improve staff retention and reduce days lost to sickness.

CrestClean offers you a completely Health & Safety compliant cleaning service with equipment and procedures that produce industry leading hygiene standards.

Health & Safety Documentation

All customers receive a booklet containing our Health & Safety Policy and Chemical Material Safety Data Sheets. Keeping this booklet on-site helps you comply with Health & Safety requirements. All other Health & Safety documentation is available by request or by download.

HSNO Compliant Chemical Bottle Labelling

All CrestClean chemical bottles have HSNO compliant labels clearly describing the bottle contents and displaying all relevant warning labels and medical advice. No equipment or chemicals are stored at our customers’ premises.

NZQA Training includes material from the Health & Safety Employment Act 1992

All Crest personnel must pass NZQA approved courses of study which include material from the Health & Safety Employment Act 1992. The courses involve theory, practical experience and a formal assessment of the Unit Standards.

Site Safe Passport

Site Safe is a Department of Labour approved organisation teaching safety and hazard management “best practices”. CrestClean personnel working in potentially hazardous premises hold a Site Safe Passport.

Safety Equipment

Crest personnel carry with them all required safety equipment to ensure a safe workplace for both them and any other people on the customer’s premises during cleaning.

Procedures to prevent cross-contamination

Crest uses a colour-coded system for all mops and cloths to minimise bacterial and viral cross-contamination between kitchen, office and toilets.

Health & Safety Inductions

All CrestClean personnel are given a formal induction to any new customers premises to ensure all CrestClean’s, and the customers’ Health and Safety policies and protocols are followed.

CrestClean’s Anti-Viral Sanitising Service

In addition to general cleaning, we offer an Anti-Viral sanitising service that targets high use, common area items like door handles and microwave oven buttons. This service kills bacteria, viruses and fungi, which can multiply and contribute to the spread of colds, flu and gastric illnesses. The Sanitiser formula is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be effective against viruses including influenza A (H1N1 Swine Flu).

Compliant Accident/Incident Reporting Procedure

CrestClean personnel are trained to follow the Health & Safety Act Accident/Incident Reporting Procedure, including reporting to our internal Health & Safety Manager, the Managing Director and Department of Labour where applicable.
