Our Safety Orientation (Janitorial Version) training course gives new janitorial, housekeeping, and sanitation employees an essential introduction to workplace safety. In the janitorial field, employees are the most important part of any safety program — they may come across unique and possibly fatal hazards every day, often while working alone. This 16-minute program is designed to help educate employees about the safety hazards they may encounter daily and support performing job duties safely. Note that this course is not a comprehensive training program for each topic covered — it provides an accurate but brief overview, and employers are responsible for providing more in-depth training on the safety hazards specific to their facility. Available in English and Spanish.

Who Should Take This Course?
Housekeeping, sanitation, and janitorial staff in all industries. Also a great resource for managers and supervisors, refresher courses, or train-the-trainer use.
This orientation is intentionally brief — commonly paired with these dedicated courses for the hazards it only introduces:
- Hazard Communication Training — janitorial staff work with cleaning chemicals daily. This dedicated course covers chemical labels, Safety Data Sheets, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 in far more depth than this overview.
- Back Safety Training — covers proper lifting techniques and back injury prevention, a leading injury risk for janitorial and housekeeping staff who lift and carry equipment throughout the day.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training — covers proper PPE selection under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132-.138, including gloves and eye protection relevant to chemical cleaning work.
