Does this sound familiar? 

"Prior to being awarded the contract the services including; window cleaning, washroom services and general cleaning services were provided by many different suppliers based on geographical location. The cleaning teams at each location were badly managed and benefitted from no central support. 

The cleaning contracts were troubled by a lack of standardisation and approach to cleaning. As such, certain sites received a reasonable service that met some of the client's expectations whilst cleaning on other sites was deemed as poor or unacceptable. Some of the problems included;

• The client received no site visits 
• Staff received no training 
• Staff working in the early hours of the morning without supervision 
• Uniform and PPE wasn’t available
• Cleaning materials not delivered 
• Machinery left in disrepair
• Washroom services were missing and broken 
• Window cleaning not evident but the client was paying for the service

Anchor welcomed the opportunity to resolve the ongoing issues"

So why is all of this important, other than meeting set service level agreements?

Well, employers have a general duty under section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of their employees at work.
