Generally, housekeeping responsibilities fall on every employee to see that their immediate work area is free from housekeeping hazards that might cause slips, trips, falls, fires, health hazards, electrical hazards, etc. Similarly, each employee should be looking out for similar hazards while walking from place to place during their daily work activities, and should correct or report any such hazards at once.
Jobsites must be maintained in such a manner that no debris is allowed to accumulate in or to clutter work areas, walkways, stairs, ladders, aisles, doorways, trailer floors, etc.
Form and scrap lumber with protruding nails and all other debris will be kept clear from work areas. Remove combustible scrap and debris at regular intervals.
Depending upon the specific requirements of the individual subcontracts, containers may be provided for collection and separation of all refuse.
Covers are required on containers used for flammable or harmful substances.
Unless absolutely necessary, no glass containers allowed on jobsites.
At the end of each portion of work, return all tools and excess material to proper storage. Each employee is responsible for clean-up of all debris from their own work areas before moving on to the next phase of work.
