Cleaning Chemical Inventory Control Guide
Control cleaning chemicals from purchasing and receipt through storage, dilution, issue, usage measurement, spill response and disposal.
Maintain an approved register
Record product, supplier, intended use, pack size, unit of measure, safety information, storage location and reorder level.
Receive and store safely
Check labels, seals, condition and quantity. Segregate incompatible products and control access according to product information and workplace requirements.
Issue in measurable units
Convert bulk quantities into millilitres or litres, record every issue and maintain a running balance. Compare expected and actual consumption by department or site.
Investigate abnormal usage
High consumption can indicate incorrect dilution, leaks, uncontrolled issue, changed workload or theft. Correct the cause and update forecasts rather than simply increasing orders.
