Maintenance and cleaning of premises: how to protect oneself from health risks?

People working in the maintenance and cleaning of premises are exposed to respiratory and skin diseases. In order to avoid any type of accident at work, the prevention and the protection of employees are both essential. 

• To avoid the risk of evaporation or fire of volatile or flammable cleaning products, remember to store them in areas protected by aluminum geodesic domes or aluminum floating roofs.
  
• In order to ensure that work infrastructures are safe and healthy, it is mandatory to ventilate the premises during and after the use of cleaning products.
  
• To make your employees aware of the risks and better protect them, set up a training program on the risks of cleaning products and workshops about good user practices.
  
• Finally, to ensure optimal physical protection, equip your staff with clothing specifically designed for this type of work such as respiratory protection, protective goggles or special gloves.

Cómo hacer bien el cambio de armario

Ahora que el otoño parece haber llegado de pleno, es el momento perfecto para poder realizar el cambio de armario no solo tuyo sino también de tus hijos. Para llevarlo a cabo de la manera perfecta te recomendamos que sigas estos consejos: 

• Saca todas las prendas fuera de ese mueble y colócalas encima de la cama.
  
• Piensa las “secciones” que vas a realizar dentro del armario.
  
• A continuación, la ropa que has sacado, clasifícala para guardarla adecuadamente. Así, por ejemplo, los culetines de niña o la ropa de baño para niños deberás ponerlos juntos como prendas para ir a la playa o a la piscina.
  
• Los artículos que utilizarás esta temporada también deberás agruparlos por tipo de prenda. De esta manera luego podrás ponerlos dentro del armario con un criterio y un orden: camisas, pantalones, camisetas, jerséis, vestidos, bufandas...
  
• Las prendas más pequeñas como calcetines, sujetadores o demás ropa interior guárdalas en cajoneras.
