At Citrus, we prioritise the safety and comfort of our team members. To ensure you are properly equipped for your office cleaning job, here’s a guide on the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) you should have and what Citrus supplies.
PPE Supplied by Citrus:
Gloves: We provide high-quality disposable gloves to protect your hands from cleaning chemicals and dirt. You will receive these at the start of your employment and they will be replenished as needed.
PPE You Need to Provide:
Trousers:
Wear durable, comfortable trousers that allow for flexibility and movement during cleaning tasks.
Avoid overly loose or long trousers that could be a tripping hazard.
Shoes:
Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are essential to ensure your safety on wet or slippery surfaces.
Avoid sandals, flip-flops, or any footwear that does not provide full foot coverage.

Additional Guidelines:
Hygiene:
Ensure your PPE is clean and in good condition before each shift.
Dispose of used gloves properly after each use.
Dress Code:
While Citrus does not provide uniforms, we expect team members to dress in clean, practical clothing suitable for the tasks performed.
Reporting Issues:
If you run out of gloves or encounter any issues with your PPE, notify your supervisor immediately so replacements can be arranged.
Why PPE is Important: Using the correct PPE protects you from potential hazards such as:
Exposure to cleaning chemicals
Slips, trips, and falls
Contamination and allergens
By following these guidelines and using the appropriate PPE, you help maintain a safe and efficient work environment for yourself and your colleagues.
If you have any questions about PPE or need additional supplies, please contact your supervisor or the helpdesk team. Stay safe and thank you for your commitment to excellence at Citrus!
