Carpet Cleaning & Janitorial Insurance

If you store cleaning supplies and equipment at your office or garage, this applies to you. Store all cleaning supplies that may contain flammable chemicals in approved storage containers and cabinets to reduce the possibility of a fire. Keep all dirty rags that have flammable cleaners on them away from anything that could cause a fire hazard.

This is probably the biggest liability you have since you work on the client's premises. There's always the risk of someone slipping and hurting themselves. There's also the risk of scratching, staining, damaging or breaking the client's belongings. Please use caution signs to warn people when cleaning and mopping an area.

Another problem occurs when cleaners and janitors fail to lock the premises during their cleaning or after completing their tasks. Do you currently have a lock up procedure for your workers? Is there a checklist that is reviewed before leaving the premises?

Do you have company-owned vehicles? Then check drivers' records to minimize your risks. Do you have your workers running errands or using their cars for moving equipment and supplies to their work assignment? Please speak to your agent to protect your liabilities here.
