Importance of housekeeping
• The hotel’s main product.
• In order to be competitive in the
industry, they must have a clean and
functional room.
• An image of a clean room creates an
imagery of impeccable service.

Your Safety: Lifting heavy objects
• Get help when lifting heavy items.
• Follow these safe lifting methods:
• Bend your legs , not your back, when you pick up
something heavy.
• Hold the heavy item close to your body.
• Move to face the heavy object before you lift
instead of twisting your body.
Doing the same motion over
and over
• Use a cart to move linens, laundry, or
other heavy items.
• Push rather then pull carts.
• Take regular rest breaks, even just
short breaks to stretch your body.
• Take turns with other workers to do
different types of tasks.
• Pad your knees (with a mat or towel)
and change your position often when
you work on your knees.
Slippery and cluttered floors
• Clean up spills immediately.
• Keep floors dry.
• Never run or move too fast.
• Do not carry items too tall for you to see over.
• Wear shoes with non-skid soles.
• Use a ladder or footstool to reach objects up high.
• Never stand on the edge of a bathtub, bed, or
chair.
Laundry and other
cleaning products
• Ask for information about the chemicals you use.
• Read labels and follow instructions before using.
• If you do not understand the label, write down the
name and ask someone for help.
• Wear goggles and gloves when needed. Your
boss should provide them.
• Do not mix chemicals together.
Handling abusive guest
• If you are being yelled at or harassed by
anyone, get help from a co-worker or your
boss.
• If someone continues to harass you at work,
get help from a trusted friend or community
organization outside the workplace.
• Do not work alone in a hotel room if hotel
guests are present.
Diseases from hotel
guests
• Wash hands with soap often, especially after
handling soiled linen or cleaning the
bathroom.
• When you handle trash cans or bags, watch
out for syringes, razor blades, or other things
that might hurt you or spread disease.

• Provide pictures on your favorite hotel guest rooms.
Explain why it is your ideal room and provide a short
description on the features of the room.
