Floors

Restaurants should have provisions for cleaning floors during and after business hours. Even for routine cleaning, supervisors must specify how what equipment, cleaners and processes the cleaning crew must employ in order to clean floors properly. Cleaning provisions should include:

Identification of contaminants and selection of cleaning agents.
Contaminant removal protocol.
Proper floor cleaning tools for each area in order to prevent cross-contamination.
A floor cleaning schedule that lists specific employees and cleaning times.
Inspection of floor surfaces for wear, damage, debris and contaminants.
Inspection, maintenance and cleaning program that includes definitions of cleaning requirements and procedures, safe handling and disposal of chemicals and solutions, emergency conditions and operations, and recordkeeping.
Monitor slip resistance levels of floors and determine effectiveness of the floor cleaning.
Implement a "clean as you go" spill policy.
Require worker use of protective and slip resistant footwear.
