Cleaning Safely

NIOSH and OSHA have teamed to produce "Protecting Workers Who Use Cleaning Chemicals," an  infosheet for building maintenance workers, janitors and housekeepers. Many employers are switching to green cleaning products because they are thought to be less hazardous to workers and the environment. The document provides information to employers on practices to help keep workers safe when working with cleaning chemicals, including green cleaning products. The agencies have also produced the "Protect Yourself: Cleaning Chemicals and Your Health" poster that's available for free download.
