In an effort to reduce worker injuries resulting from improper chemical handling, ManageMen, a business management consulting firm for the professional cleaning industry, has partnered with WCF Insurance and WAXIE Sanitary Supply to develop “Cleaning Chemical Handlers' Resource Guide.” The nearly 100-page book is designed for any worker with exposure to chemicals used in the cleaning and maintenance of a facility.

“Cleaning chemicals can contain ingredients that can be harmful to users and others in surrounding areas if they aren’t used or stored properly,” said Ben Walker, Chief Strategy Officer, ManageMen. “As many as six percent of janitorial workers experience a job-related injuries resulting from cleaning chemicals each year—that’s almost 400,000 people. These accidents are preventable; we want to equip workers with the knowledge they need to stay safe.”
