HOUSEKEEPING
ONE OF THE KEYS TO A
SAFER WORKPLACE
Work Place Housekeeping
• “The phrase "working place" is defined in
30 CFR '' 56/57.2 as: "any place in or
about a mine where work is being
performed." As used in the standard, the
phrase applies to those locations at a mine
site where persons work during a shift
in the mining or milling processes.”
WHY is housekeeping
important?
• SAFETY
• PRODUCTIVITY
• IMPRESSIONS
• MORALE
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
PROMOTES SAFETY
Spills are a slip
hazard.
Cords, Hoses,
Welding Leads and
tools can be a trip
hazard.
Dirt and Dust piles
can be a respiratory
hazard.
Protruding nails and
sharp objects can be
a puncture and or cut
hazard.
Scrap steel, Wood,
rebar and misc.
material can cause
falls and other safety
hazards.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
PROMOTES PRODUCTIVITY
• Keeping a neat and orderly work area
prevents stopping to move tools, cords &
scrap.
• Trip hazards must be barricaded,
eliminating those hazards eliminates time
used to erect barricades.
• Organized work areas means all tools and
materials kept in their proper place until
needed.
GOOD IMPRESSIONS
IMPROVED MORALE
• As contractors working on other people’s
property good housekeeping leaves a
good impression.
• Working in a clean, organized, & clutter
free area makes almost any task seem
easier and promotes a better attitude by all
persons involved.
GOOD IMPRESSIONS
IMPROVED MORALE
• Because we should always strive to leave
a good impression we should always
make it a priority to keep our areas clean.
• Working in a clean, organized, & clutter
free area makes almost any task seem
easier and promotes a better attitude by all
persons involved.
