SINGAPORE: The National Trades Union Congress will be issuing a set of guidelines to ensure the safety of workers in the cleaning industry.
The NTUC has kicked into action following concerns about the number of accidents in workplaces.
A 10-member workgroup was formed in August 2006 to develop safe work procedures on jobs undertaken by the town councils and cleaning services companies.
The Workplace Safety and Health Guidelines for Town Council Cleaning and Custodial Services will be released in mid-2007.
It is estimated that there are some 10,000 workers in the cleaning industry.
At a seminar on Tuesday, representatives from more than 55 companies in the cleaning industry pledged to uphold safe working habits. - CNA/so
