6. Cleanliness

Good housekeeping in all areas is an essential feature of safety and the prevention of accidents.

Staff working in all areas must have regard to the following:-

Ensure that loose and worn flooring is reported to your supervisor.

Ensure all entrances, corridors, walkways and exit doors are kept clear of obstructions at all times.

Close all cabinets, cupboards and drawers after use.

Never overload shelving or store heavy items above head height except on load bearing purpose built racking.

Never leave a lit cigarette unattended in the designated smoking area.

Clear away immediately any dangerous substance or spillage. Dangerous substances are marked and are defined as toxic, harmful, irritant, flammable or oxidizing.

Dust and fumes should not be inhaled. If dust or fumes are produced by any activity then cease the task immediately until protective measures have been put into place.

Equipment must not be left where it can be a tripping hazard.
