• Protecting vulnerable occupants during cleaning
• Handling and storing cleaning chemicals safely that are used in the building (including plan for managing hazardous spills and mishandling incidents)
• Reducing the toxicity of the chemicals used for cleaning activities
• Promoting and improving hand hygiene
