Talk To Our Compliance Team
Occupational Health & Safety (OHS)
Our OHS framework is embedded in everything we do. Every team member is inducted into safe work practices, we maintain up-to-date Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals, and we conduct regular risk assessments across your site. Documented procedures, incident reporting and continuous review mean hazards are identified and managed before they become problems. Compliance with Australian OHS legislation is non-negotiable for us.
Labour Hire Licensing
Engaging a cleaning provider without proper labour hire credentials can expose your business to significant penalties. Cleaning Works operates in full accordance with state labour hire licensing requirements, ensuring every worker on your site is legally engaged, fairly paid and properly covered. We maintain current licences, workers' compensation and public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind that your supply chain is above board.

Colour-coded cleaning is one of the most effective ways to prevent cross-contamination. By assigning specific colours to cloths, mops and equipment for different areas, we ensure tools used in a washroom never touch a kitchen surface. Our teams are trained in the four-colour standard and our sites are equipped with clearly labelled, colour-matched equipment so hygiene standards are maintained consistently, shift after shift.
Comprehensive Staff Training
Every cleaner completes structured induction and ongoing training covering safe chemical handling, correct use of equipment, colour-coded procedures and site-specific requirements. Training records are maintained and refreshed regularly.
Primary buttonCompetency & Verification
We verify competency through supervised assessments and site audits, ensuring knowledge is applied consistently on the floor, not just in the classroom.
Primary buttonDocumented Procedures
Clear written procedures and checklists support every task, providing accountability and a reliable evidence trail for audits and client reporting.
Primary buttonOngoing Compliance Reviews
Regular reviews keep our practices aligned with the latest legislation, industry standards and your organisation's specific compliance obligations.
Primary buttonTesting & Tagging of Equipment
Electrical safety is a critical compliance requirement often overlooked. All portable cleaning equipment such as vacuums, scrubbers and polishers used by Cleaning Works is regularly tested and tagged in line with AS/NZS 3760. Faulty or damaged equipment is removed from service immediately, and testing records are maintained so your site remains compliant and your people stay safe from electrical hazards.
