Worksite housekeeping

Hazards

• The ongoing control of clutter, waste, spills, cables, access routes, and stored materials at a production workplace.

Controls

• Assign ownership, keep exits and fire equipment clear, protect or reroute cables, clean spills promptly, stack safely, provide lighting, and reassess as the set changes.

Personal protective equipment

• Select task-specific PPE only after hazards and higher-order controls have been evaluated.

Regional considerations

• Applicable law, permits, collective agreements, venue rules, and qualified-person decisions take precedence.

In practice

Assign ownership, keep exits and fire equipment clear, protect or reroute cables, clean spills promptly, stack safely, provide lighting, and reassess as the set changes.
