Circular distribution health & safety what is that all about then?

Surely just posting leaflets through letterboxes should not require any health & safety advice!

Well if you are thinking any of the above then you are thinking wrong as there is like any other business activity serious health & safety issues to take into consideration.

The health & safety issues concerned with circular distribution are outlined below.

The first issue involves you actually getting to your circular distribution destination. Make sure that if you are travelling there by any vehicle that on your arrival you park in a safe area that is not going to potentially place pedestrians or other road users in a dangerous situation i.e.:- do not park close to corners or block access on pavements. Leave ample room so as not to impair the visibility of other road users.

Secondly, make sure that you are wearing suitable clothing for the day, especially footwear as ill fitting shoes will cause you to be susceptible to getting blisters and so curtail your business activities prematurely.

Be careful when approaching households to observe whether there are any warning notices on householders gates or houses warning of guard dogs or any other potential hazards that you might have to face by entering their property. Enter with care and observe at all times!

If there are no warning signs but there is a gate to open and close please enter with care, I would advice a brief hesitation immediately after opening the gate before actually entering, just long enough for you to grab any dogs attention. If there is a loose dog at least you will then be able to escape safely by shutting the gate quickly again.

Also be careful of gate catches etc that when opening them you do not trap your fingers as often they can be awkward and stiff at first to open and then after exerting mild pressure they suddenly move freely and catch you unaware trapping and cutting fingers etc. Be cautious be careful!

Be careful when crossing from one side of the road to the other. Remember your green cross code. Look left, look right, look left again, listen and if all is clear then cross the road taking care not to trip up when mounting kerbs etc. Remember look and listen, take care!

Keep alert when walking down householder’s driveways as often driveways have potholes or slabs with odd corners that stick up proud. Tripping over could cause you sprained ankles or even breakages, which obviously the latter could cause your business to have weeks of inactivity and cost you lots of new business. Beware of trip hazards!

Lastly be very careful when placing your leaflets through householders letter boxes not to let your fingers go through draught excluders etc as often there is a dog  waiting patiently to bite you. I am aware of an instance a few years ago of a post lady whom lost a couple of fingers because she didn’t keep her fingers the safe side of the letter box. So please beware! be cautious and careful always whilst performing this operation.

Garden Sheds Cleaning Business Opportunity

To get started it might be an idea to draw up a few interior shed designs for various sized sheds, for shelving arrangements, cupboard standing areas, work benches/areas etc so as to give yourself a professional appearance when meeting clients and pricing up their jobs. Obviously if you get your price right and do a top class job you should find that once the word gets around about your business and standard of work you may well get plenty of referral work from satisfied customers, also you may well get repeat work as over a period of time I am sure a lot of customers would instead of keeping their garden sheds clean and tidy, would let them gradually return to their original untidy mess.

A few year ago when I was still working within the building industry for my fathers business we picked up a council grant job to modernise an old farm house which was totally out in the sticks. The house didn’t have electricity and part of our work was to provide an electricity supply by means of installing a generator.

The old farmer who lived in that farm house and still does to this day originally applied for a council grant to help to get his roof redone but in doing so the council insisted that he had to get a lot more work done to the house work that included, underpinning the rear wall, damp proofing, electricity to the house, a new kitchen and last but not least a bathroom with a toilet indoors.

The last job that I have mentioned a toilet indoors the old farmer tried to fight against this as he had an old Victorian toilet outside which consisted of a ramshackle corrugated building with an hole in the ground and a very old wood worm invested wooden toilet seat for comfort! The farmer was adamant that he didn’t want a toilet indoors and that it was an utter waste of taxpayers’ hard earned money. But the council were insistent that for him to successfully receive his grant that he must have a toilet fitted indoors.

He finally reluctantly agreed for the toilet to be fitted but he kept on muttering over the following days and weeks that we were there working that it was a total waste of tax payers hard earned money as he had no intention of ever using it, he kept saying that he was a civilised person and that you don’t even find wild animals doing a dump in their own dens and they are not supposed to be civilized and he would still continue to go outside for his daily dumps!

I bumped into him recently and asked how he was getting on and if the toilet that we had fitted a few years back was still functioning ok. He stated that he still hadn’t used it to this day and used his same words, Robin he said even wild animals don’t dump in their own dens and they are not supposed to be civilized.

OK I have told a slight porky! If you change the word dump to S**T then you will have his true words

Does anyone else think it is uncivilized to dump in ones own den?

Cleaning goddess have you ever come across one?

I have heard many people mention over the years that they have found themselves a domestic cleaning goddess.

Well as most of you are probably aware I deal with domestic cleaners all the time and I can honestly say that to date I have never ever come remotely close to discovering a domestic cleaning goddess.

I have found many top class professional domestic cleaners who are masters of their trade but a goddess they are certainly not.

To be considered a goddess I would have thought that apart from being a beautiful lady, which a lot of my domestic cleaners do fit into this category they would also need to possess some sort of magical or out of these world powers!

Well that’s the bit that always stumps me, as I have never found a domestic cleaner who possesses godly powers. The domestic cleaners I find are hard working, thorough, conscientious, often prepared to stop over their time to get a job finished, but possessing godly powers I have yet to find one!

Maybe you have come across a domestic cleaning goddess or even actually used one? If so I would be interested in hearing your story.
