House Keeping
(A Clean Shop Is a Safe Shop)
- Clean up your work area at the end of your work shift.
- Do not leave tools and supplies out unnecessarily.
- Do not let your work area become too cluttered, this can lead
to trip hazards. Clean as you go.
- Flatten nails in used lumber.
- Do not leave long sticks in trash barrels. They can poke
others in the eyes.
- Do not block fire extinguishers, doors, or marked tool-safety
areas.
- Keep pathways to fire exits and for crossing the shop clear.
It can be dangerous having to carry large items while walking over
lumber and trash.
