Training employees is basic and all employees should have all the relevant information to carry out organizational duties.
Clean is a commercial cleaning company using high-potency commercial-grade liquid as well as solid cleaning agents to ensure effective services are offered to customers (Said, 2021).
Proper training of employees is therefore critical. Employees should learn all the safety measures of handling equipment and cleaning agents. Proper disposal is also important to mitigate dangers to which the general public can be exposed (Said, 2021).

Negligence Risk situation 2- Inadequate security protocols
The cleaning company uses cleaning agents made of hazardous chemicals and should be properly stored (Gamkhitashvili, 2021).
Having an effective security protocol limits the number of people accessing the chemicals.
Lack of proper security protocol can lead to theft. Improper use of chemicals can be disastrous and can be used to cause damages by criminals. This will definitely be a negligence liability to the company (Gamkhitashvili, 2021).

This is a good way that Clean can use to avoid creating liability (Gamkhitashvili, 2021).

Employee training programs
Clean should consider training all employees on industrial safety standards.
Employees upon recruitment should be trained for a period of three months to gain adequate knowledge on tools, equipment, and chemicals they will be working with (Gamkhitashvili, 2021).
Employees should understand the best practices and ways of disposing of the aforementioned agents. The training can be offered by contracted instructors who should test employees at the end of the training program to rate their levels of understanding (Gamkhitashvili, 2021).

Moving Clean headquarters to a dedicated location is important to ensure accidents and spillages that can happen do not affect people outside the organization (Said, 2021).

Charge the organizational headquarters - This will be achieved by moving the headquarters from proximity pf customers and business in the shopping center.
Proper storage protocols meeting industrial grade - Storing hazardous chemicals should be done diligently in a manner that minimized spillage and chances of leaking. It is important to dedicate a storage facility and use of containers that do not cause accidental spillage and leakages (Said, 2021).
