Preventing harm to cleaning workers
Cleaning is carried out in every workplace. In some industries, such as the food and catering sectors, poor cleaning can cause a business to fail. Cleaning is an essential task and, when done well, it can reduce both costs to the company and the risks to workers' safety and health by, for example, extending the life of workplace equipment and keeping floor surfaces in good condition. Sadly though, cleaning tasks have a bad image as it is a task associated with dirt and waste; workers are sometimes looked down on and their work taken for granted.

These workers generally perform manicures over a workstation—or "nail table"—with the client's hands resting on the table as they work.
