Worried about my facility’s safety and sanitary practices
I started a new job at a local swim school, coworkers are nice, job is fun— but to say I am disgusted by the level of cleanliness at that place is an understatement. I found out recently that they do not mop the floors in any part of the facility. Multiple of my coworkers told me this directly, they only hose down the deck if there’s something especially gross on it. They don’t mop under the showers either, despite the amount of shampoo making the floor underneath them dangerously slippery. I have never seen them sanitize any of the tools or toys we use with the kids (which many of them chew on). I bought a pair of swim shoes because I am NOT catching foot fungus this year, no way. I have no idea what to do, I want to bring it up to management, but I’m a brand new employee and don’t have much say yet I don’t think, and I’m pretty sure the managers already know, because they never check any of it anyway. They are also on deck frequently so they are able to see the grimy floors. Is this normal??? I started lifeguard training as well and just went over the part of the course that discusses hygiene and how the facility you work in is supposed to protect you. I am not seeing any of that here.
