collected by either a dust bag or a cyclone for later disposal.

Water Hoses are hollow tubes designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hoses
are also sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a
hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing. The shape of a hose is usually
cylindrical (having a circular cross section).

universal solvent.

A waste container is a container for temporarily storing refuse and waste.

Baking soda otherwise known as bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate is used to

deodorize refrigerators.

Management
There is one important way to follow the rules and to manage the safe use and maintenance of tools and equipment. This is
to assess and control the risks. Employers should conduct Risk Assessments that cover the setting up, use and maintenance of
tools and equipment at work. The risk assessment process must identify the environments in which workers will use the tools and
equipment; any local conditions that may affect safety; and how the workers will actually use each item in practice. Risk
assessments such as these let employers know what orientation and training they need to run. The assessments also show what
information employers must make available in the form of posters, user guides and Safety Signs. By limiting risks in this way,
employers have some control over potential hazards.
Specifically, employers should:
 Place guards on machinery to protect fingers and limbs.
 Ensure that system controls have appropriate warning devices.
 Insist staff wear personal protective clothing as necessary.
 Arrange for maintenance when equipment is safely shut down and not in use.
General Rules in the Use of Cleaning Equipment
1. Check electrical appliances and equipment before use. Check if there are frayed wires, loose plugs ad connections. Never
use any appliance that is defective.
2. Handle equipment with care and make sure it does not bump on hard surfaces.
3. Clean and store equipment in their custodial room immediately after use.
4. Empty dust bags of dry vacuum cleaners before they overload and after each use.
5. Follow manufacturer’s operating instruction.
6. Schedule a regular check-up of equipment to prevent serious breakdown.
7. To avoid electric shock or short circuit, do not expose equipment to rain or water. Store them indoors to protect them from
getting wet. Electrical equipment should never be used in wet surfaces.

MAINTENANCE OF CLEANING EQUIPMENT

Maintenance is an important aspect in making equipment last long. With proper care and maintenance, most of the
household equipment can be used efficiently with little or no repair needed.
Housekeeping is not just cleanliness. It includes keeping work areas neat and orderly; maintaining halls and floors free of
slip and trip hazards; and removing of waste materials (e.g., paper, cardboard) and other fire hazards from work areas.

A vacuum cleaner is a device that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt, usually from
floors, and optionally from other surfaces as well. The dirt is collected by either a dust bag or a cyclone for later disposal. Vacuum
cleaners, which are used in homes as well as in industry, exist in a variety of sizes and models— small battery operated hand-held
devices, domestic central vacuum cleaners, huge stationary industrial appliances that can handle several hundred liters of dust
before being emptied, and self-propelled vacuum trucks for recovery of large spills or removal of contaminated soil.

A floor buffer is an electrical appliance that is used to clean and maintain non-carpeted floors, such as hardwood, marble,
tile or linoleum. It is also known as a floor polisher or floor burnisher. If it is a high-speed floor buffer with a pad, it rotates at over
1000 RPM (rotation per minute). It has a large, round scrubbing pad spinning in a circle in one direction, which is powered by a
small motor, usually directly, over the center of the pad.

Correct Maintenance of Tools and Equipment

A further part of a health and safety strategy is to maintain tools and equipment regularly. This helps to identify safety
problems before they become a serious hazard. Only qualified people should carry out the maintenance. They should also keep
records of their inspections.
