Carpet Cleaning Information:
The Carpet Cleaning Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 15 page procedure. This SWMS concerns the task of carpet cleaning, including the use of a steam cleaner machine and spot stain removal.
The Carpet Cleaning procedure is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand. It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System.
The Carpet Cleaning Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
