Today, April 28, is World Day for Safety and Health at Work. Because we consider safety extremely important, we have listed some handy tips that you, as a domestic helper, can put to good use during your daily tasks.
You can reach this free number 24/7 in the event of poisoning (for example, inhaling chemical fumes from a cleaning product). Make sure you know which product is the cause, the amount ingested, and what the symptoms are.
Mixing cleaning products can cause a dangerous chemical reaction: toxic fumes resulting in respiratory problems, corrosive effects on the skin, or eye irritation. Prevention is better than cure; therefore, always read the product package leaflet to determine the correct amount and how to use it.
Everyday cleaning products contain numerous chemicals that are not only harmful to the environment but are also linked to respiratory disorders and chronic diseases. Ecological products are made from natural and plant-based ingredients and are therefore fully biodegradable. In addition, they are better for your health! You can purchase ecological products in supermarkets or organic shops.
Dusting a high cupboard? Do not use the office chair with wheels, but take a stepladder instead. Ensure it is fully extended and standing on a stable surface. Do not place any materials on the rungs or the platform. Please note that as a domestic helper, you are allowed to use a stepladder with a maximum of 3 rungs.
In daily contact with cleaning products? Protect yourself and wear gloves when cleaning. This will prevent skin irritation.
Your family member would like to hire a cleaner, but is unable to apply for service vouchers. Your neighbor wants to switch to electronic service vouchers, but is not comfortable using a computer. These are all situations where it is easier if someone else handles the application. But can I order service vouchers for someone else? Cleaning agency Easy Life explains!
You can be sure that Branch Manager Stefanie Vanhove is a jack-of-all-trades.
