Good Housekeeping – A Way To Make Your Job Safer
Have you ever thought of ways to make your job safer? Perhaps if someone came up with a better and Safer tool to use, or a safer piece of equipment – maybe a way to simplify construction methods. But here is something most people give no thought to – Practicing Good Housekeeping.
Poor Housekeeping can cause accidents, results can range from a small cut to a loss of life. A nail in a scrapped Piece of wood, a cluttered walkway, scrap conduit, even your lunch trash can cause an accident!
Once-A-Day or Once-A-Week clean up is just not enough. Good Housekeeping is a continuing process in which everyone must participate in throughout the work day!
The following are some simple ideas towards Good Housekeeping:
- Keeping extension cords off the floor as much as possible, hung them if you can, just no low enough that someone could hang them self
- Keep walkways clean and clear of trash
- Keep scrap conduit and wood picked up
- Clean up spills and liquids on the floor to prevent slipping hazards
- Keep storage areas and storage containers neat and orderly
- Use trash cans for your empty lunch bags and other food rubbish, like soda cans, water bottles, plates and hamburger containers, etc.
Good Housekeeping does pay off. It is easier and safer to work in a clean area than in a cluttered junk pile – Good Housekeeping is everyone’s job.
