Sites Investigation

I was visiting these few working environment of the elderly to get a better understanding of our cleaning industry such as the washroom, hawker centers and shopping mall. These few areas that has to be improved on.

Working spaces in the washroom of our school:

For the washroom, the floor is usually wet from people splashing their hands on it after washing their hands which makes the floor slippery and thus increasing the probability of the elderly falling. The toilet bowls are also often clogged and the floors are dirty. It would reek of urine smell and the elderly of course would then have no choice but to wash the toilet more regularly, dealing with wet floor even more often and affecting their health with the heavier workload as the elderly people are more prone to getting illness. Moreover, at that age, they will be having aches everywhere especially on their spinal cord and feet.

Working spaces in the hawker centers:

Certain hawker centers do not have the tray-return stations and so does the one that was visited. After the consumers were done, they would throw their used tissues on the table but because of the fans around the place, the tissues and plastic cups would usually fall onto ground or topple over-resulting in spills. There is also have no good area to place those rubbish so the environment looked so dirty.

Working spaces on the road site:

For those who cleaning on the roadside always need to carry the heavy cleaning device though the road street in the outdoor area.
