SUMMARY:Bringing Science to Cleaning Decisions: Protecting people, preserving assets and creating healthier indoor environments
DESCRIPTION:As research into cleaning, indoor environments and occupational health continues to evolve, cleaning and facility management professionals are being challenged to rethink traditional practices.\nThis interactive workshop examines the latest peer-reviewed research and explores what it means for workforce health, product selection, indoor environmental quality, safety culture and operational performance.\nDesigned to bridge the gap between scientific evidence and everyday practice, the workshop will challenge conventional thinking and provide practical guidance on how organisations can better protect cleaning professionals, create healthier indoor environments and make more informed operational decisions. Drawing on current peer-reviewed research and relevant Safe Work Australia Model Codes of Practice – including managing biological hazards, work health and safety risks, and hazardous chemicals – attendees will gain a practical understanding of how scientific evidence can be translated into safer, more effective workplace practices. Through expert discussion, real-world examples and interactive participation, attendees will leave with practical strategies they can apply across their own workplaces.\nWorkshop themes\n\nProtecting the Health of Cleaning Professionals – Understanding the latest evidence on occupational health risks and practical strategies to reduce them.\nCreating Healthier Indoor Environments – Exploring how cleaning practices and product selection influence indoor air quality and occupant wellbeing.\nBuilding a Culture of Safety and Professional Excellence – Strengthening workforce capability through leadership, training and evidence-based practices.\nMeasuring What Matters – Using data, monitoring and continuous improvement to improve safety, quality and operational outcomes.\n\nWho should attend\nThis workshop is ideal for:\n\nBuilding service contractors\nCleaning business owners and managers\nCleaning supervisors and operational leaders\nFacility and property managers\nEnvironmental Services (EVS) professionals\nWorkplace health and safety professionals\nProcurement and quality managers\nProduct manufacturers and distributors\nAnyone responsible for improving cleaning outcomes through evidence-based practice.\n\nThis workshop is taking place at the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC).\n
