    SWMS - CLEANING

    Very well laid out, compliant and easy to work with documentation. Best I have encountered so far.

    Fit for purpose

    I want to say from the on-set this SWMS is superbly written. It would satisfy the requirements of any client.
    But is that what the purpose of a SWMS? I've been working in the Cleaning industry for over 5 years; the majority of cleaners do not speak English as their first language and those that do not have a high level of literacy. Our cleaners would not be able to read and understand all of this excellent SWMS, if you could simplify and perhaps add illustrations that would be very helpful, after all general cleaning of a commercial site is not a high risk task.

    This is in no way a belittling of Cleaners, as far as I'm concerned they perform an essential function.
