Course Outline

In hotels and any other organisation, we need to maintain a very high level of cleanliness.  The state and cleanliness of the public areas is the first thing a guest will notice on entering the organisation.  This will automatically give the guest an impression of the rest of the organisation. In order to maintain a professional image, these areas must be kept clean and maintained at all times.

• Occupational health and safety
