BICSc Colour Coding Guide for the Cleaning Industry
Colour-coding can be a complex subject and with the exception of the healthcare industry, no
national or international compulsory standards exist in the cleaning industry.
To help overcome this problem, BICSc has put together some basic guidelines.
This guidance aims to raise standards and reduce the liability of cross-infection between cleaning areas.
If your company has not already introduced its own colour-coding system we recommend you adopt
these BICSc guidelines and encourage your staff to work with them.
