1. Limit the cleaning area with barriers at the following
points:
● Steps
● Stairs
● Escalators, moving walkways
● Lifting platforms
2. Do not place ladders, scaffolding or other temporary
obstacles in the cleaning area.

through lifts or automatically opening doors. Use lifts
and automatic doors only in manual operation.
5. Keep a sufficient distance away from water basins
and glass surfaces.

head-on but parallel to the door.
9. Mark the cleaning area with warning signs and pro-
vide notice of wet floors.
