Why this ironing board earns its place
The Kuma DB392 is a simple, portable ironing board for light to medium duty pressing in laundry rooms, housekeeping stores and back-of-house spaces. The steel mesh top sits under an 8mm foam rubber and cotton fabric cover, giving staff a smooth, cushioned surface for touching up uniforms, cloths and linen without setting up a fixed ironing station.
An iron rest is built in, so the iron has a proper place to stand between passes. The height adjusts for different users, while rubber ferrules on the legs help protect floors and walls from marks and add grip while the board is in use.
For storage, the board folds shut and locks in the folded position, reducing the chance of it falling open in a cupboard, housekeeping bay or van. At 1.7kg, with a listed height of 1100mm and 75mm depth, it is easy for one person to move from room to room when a temporary pressing point is needed.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
