WHAT IS HOUSE KEEPING ?WHAT IS HOUSE KEEPING ?
The well-known phrase
is one of the guiding principles in accident prevention.
 Housekeeping is more than just keeping the place tidy.
 It includes every thing required for the job close at
hand and in top condition.

 Good Housekeeping - A Good Safety PracticeGood Housekeeping - A Good Safety Practice
 Housekeeping is not just cleanliness.
 It includes
 Keeping work areas neat and orderly
 Maintaining halls and floors free of slip and
trip hazards
 Removing of waste materials (e.g., paper,
cardboard) and other fire hazards from work
areas.

 Eliminate some workplace hazards
 Help get a job done safely and properly.
 Frequently contribute to accidents by hiding hazards
that cause injuries.

 If the sight of paper, debris, clutter and spills is
accepted as normal, then
other more serious health and safety hazards may
be taken for granted.

 Good housekeeping is also a basic part of
accident and fire prevention.
 Effective housekeeping is an ongoing operation:
it is not a hit-and-miss cleanup done
occasionally.
 Periodic "panic" cleanups are costly and
ineffective in reducing accidents.
PURPOSE OF HOUSE KEEPINGPURPOSE OF HOUSE KEEPING

Poor housekeeping can be a cause of accidents
Loss of Control
 Tripping over loose objects on
floors, stairs and platforms
TRIP
 Being hit by falling objects

 Slipping on greasy, wet or dirty surfaces
SLIP
 Striking against projecting, poorly
stacked items or misplaced material
 Cutting, puncturing, or tearing the skin of hands or
other parts of the body on projecting nails, wire or steel
strapping.

POOR HOUSEKEEPING
RESULTS CAN BE AS BAD AS
LWI
DEATH
PERMANENT DISABILITY

 Reduced handling to ease the flow of materials
 Fewer tripping and slipping accidents in clutter-free and
spill-free work areas
 Decreased fire hazards
 Lower worker exposures to hazardous substances
 Better control of tools and materials
 More efficient equipment cleanup and maintenance.
RESULTS OF EFFECTIVE HOUSE KEEPINGRESULTS OF EFFECTIVE HOUSE KEEPING

 Better hygienic conditions leading to improved health
 More effective use of space
 Reduced property damage by improving preventive
maintenance
 Less janitorial work
 Improved morale.
RESULTS OF EFFECTIVE HOUSE KEEPINGRESULTS OF EFFECTIVE HOUSE KEEPING

A good housekeeping program
 plans and manages the orderly storage and movement of
materials from point of entry to exit.
 includes material flow plan to ensure minimal handling.
 ensures that work areas are not used as storage areas.
 could include investing in extra bins & more frequent
disposal.
 The costs of this investment could be offset by the
elimination of repeated handling of the same material &
more effective use of the workers' time.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMGOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAM

 Ineffective or insufficient storage planning results in
materials being handled and stored in hazardous ways.
 Knowing the plant layout and the movement of materials
throughout the workplace can help plan work procedures.
 Worker training is an essential part of any good
housekeeping program.
 Workers need to know how
 to work safely with the products they use.
 They also need to know how to protect other workers
 Such as by posting signs (e.g., "Wet - Slippery Floor")
 and reporting any unusual conditions.

 Housekeeping order is "maintained" not "achieved”.
i.e. removing the inevitable messes that occur from time to time
& not waiting until the end of shift to reorganize & clean up.
 Integrating housekeeping into jobs can help to ensure this is
done.
 A good housekeeping program identifies and assigns
responsibilities for the following:
 clean up during the shift
 day-to-day cleanup
 waste disposal
 removal of unused materials
 inspection to ensure cleanup is complete

 Do not forget out-of-the-way places such as shelves, basements,
sheds, and boiler rooms that would otherwise be overlooked.
 The orderly arrangement of operations, tools, equipment and
supplies is an important part.
 The final addition is inspection.
 It is the only way to check for deficiencies in the program so
that changes can be made.
 The documents on workplace inspection checklists provide a
general guide.

DUST AND DIRT REMOVALDUST AND DIRT REMOVAL
Not all enclosures & exhaust ventilation systems are able to
collect dust/dir adequately. Other means to collect dust /
dirt are:-
 Vacuum cleanersVacuum cleaners - suitable for removing light dust & dirt.
 Dampening floorsDampening floors or using sweeping compounds before
sweeping - reduces the amount of airborne dust.

 Manual cleaningManual cleaning - the dust and grime that collect in places
like shelves, piping, conduits, light fixtures, reflectors,
windows etc.
 Special-purpose vacuumsSpecial-purpose vacuums - for removing hazardous
substances.
 For e.g. vacuum cleaners fitted with HEPA (high efficiency
particulate air) filters may be used to capture fine particles of
asbestos or fibreglass.
 Compressed airCompressed air - for removing dust/dirt from equip or
surfaces.

These include
 LockersLockers - necessary for storing personal belongings.
 WashroomsWashrooms - require cleaning, supply of soap, towels etc.
 Smoking, eating or drinking areasSmoking, eating or drinking areas - separate from the
work area and should be cleaned properly each shift.

 For handling hazardous materials, employee facilities
should provide special precautions such as showers,showers,
washing facilities and change roomswashing facilities and change rooms.
 Some facilities may require separate locker roomsseparate locker rooms
with showers to store street clothing from PPEs
separately.

SURFACES – FLOORS / WALLSSURFACES – FLOORS / WALLS
FloorsFloors
 Poor floor conditions are a leading cause of accidents
 Cleaning up spilled oil & other liquids at once is
important.
 Allowing chips, shavings and dust to accumulate can also
cause accidents.
 Trapping chips, shavings & dust before they reach the
floor or cleaning them up regularly can prevent
accumulation.

 Areas that cannot be cleaned continuously,
such as entrance ways, should have anti-slip
flooring.
 Keeping floors in good order also means
replacing any worn, ripped, or damaged
flooring that poses a tripping hazard.

WallsWalls
 Light-colored walls reflect light while dirty or dark-colored
walls absorb light.
 Contrasting colors warn of physical hazards and mark
obstructions such as pillars.
 Paint can highlight railings, guards and other safety
equipment, but should never be used as a substitute for
guarding.
 The program should outline the regulations and standards
for colors.

MAINTENANCE OF LIGHT FIXTURESMAINTENANCE OF LIGHT FIXTURES
 It is hazardous to work in low lux area.
 Dirty light fixtures reduce essential light levels
 Clean light fixtures can improve lighting efficiency
significantly.
 Fuse lights should be immediately replaced.
 Non-explosive fixtures should be utilized in hazardous
areas and should be replaced with non-explosives lights if
replacement is due.

AISLES AND STAIRWAYSAISLES AND STAIRWAYS
 Aisles should be wide enough to accommodate people and
vehicles comfortably and safely and allows movement of
people, products & materials easily.
 Warning signs and mirrors can improve sight-lines in blind
corners
 Arranging aisles properly encourages people to use them so
that they do not take shortcuts through hazardous areas.
 Keeping aisles and stairways clear is important.
 They should not be used for temporary "overflow" or
"bottleneck" storage.
 Stairways and aisles also require adequate lighting.

SPILLS CONTROLSPILLS CONTROL
The best way to control spills is to stop them before they occur.
 Spills can be prevented by
Regularly cleaning and maintaining machines and equipment
Another is to use drip pans and guards where possible spills
might occur.
 When spills occur, it is important to clean them up
immediately.
 Absorbent materials are useful for wiping up greasy, oily or
other liquid spills.
 Used absorbents must be disposed of properly and safely.

TOOLS AND EUIPMENTTOOLS AND EUIPMENT
 Tool housekeeping is very important, whether in the tool
room, on the rack, in the yard, or on the bench.
 Tools require suitable fixtures with marked locations to
provide orderly arrangement, both in the tool room and
near the work bench.
 Returning them promptly after use reduces the chance of
being misplaced or lost.
 Workers should regularly inspect, clean and repair all
tools and take any damaged or worn tools out of service.

MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE
 Maintenance involves keeping buildings, equipment &
machinery in safe, efficient working order and in good repair.
 This includes maintaining sanitary facilities & regularly
painting & cleaning walls.
 Broken windows, damaged doors, defective plumbing and
broken floor surfaces can make a workplace look neglected,
 These conditions can cause accidents & affect work.
 It is important to replace or fix broken or damaged items
as quickly as possible.
 A good maintenance program provides for the inspection,
maintenance, upkeep & repair of tools, equipment, machines
& processes.

WASTE DISPOSALWASTE DISPOSAL
 The regular collection, grading and sorting of scrap
contribute to good housekeeping practices.
 It also makes it possible to separate materials that can be
recycled from those going to waste disposal facilities.
 Allowing material to build up on the floor wastes time and
energy since additional time is required for cleaning it up.
 Placing scrap containers near where the waste is produced
encourages orderly waste disposal and makes collection
easier.
 All waste receptacles should be clearly labeled (e.g.,
recyclable glass, plastic, scrap metal, etc.).

STORAGESSTORAGES
 Good organization of stored materials is essential for
overcoming material storage problems whether on a
temporary or permanent basis.
 There will also be fewer strain injuries if the amount of
handling is reduced, especially if less manual materials
handling is required.
 The location of the stockpiles should not interfere with work
but they should still be readily available when required.
 Stored materials should allow at least one metre (or about
three feet) of clear space under sprinkler heads.
 Stacking cartons and drums on a firm foundation and cross
tying them, where necessary, reduces the chance of their
movement.

STORAGESSTORAGES
 Stored materials should not obstruct aisles, stairs, exits, fire
equipment, emergency eyewash fountains, emergency
showers, or first aid stations.
 All storage areas should be clearly marked.
 Flammable, combustible, toxic and other hazardous
materials should be stored in approved containers in
designated areas that are appropriate for the different
hazards that they pose.
 Storage of materials should meet all requirements specified
in the fire codes and the regulations of environmental and
occupational health and safety agencies in your jurisdiction.

HOUSE KEEPING TIPSHOUSE KEEPING TIPS
 It’s nice to work in a clean and organized setting, but
OSHA requires a neat, clean workplace because it is safer.
 Just taking the time to put things in their place can prevent
many on-the-job accidents.

 To avoid these hazards, a workplace must "maintain" order
throughout a workday.
 Although this effort requires a great deal of management
and planning, the benefits are many.

 Maintain safe access to
Work areas
Walkways / Roads
Emergency Exit Paths / Doors
Never Block ThemNever Block Them
If required, follow proper procedureIf required, follow proper procedure

 Spills such as grease,
water, or oil shall be
cleaned up as soon as
possible
 A delay could result in
an accident to youyou or a
fellow workerfellow worker.

 Keep aisles, and exits clear of desks, file cabinets and trash
 Keep overhead storage (top of
cabinets) at a minimum (one box
high, no more than 10 pounds)
 Clean up all spills as soon as they
occur or as soon as you notice the
spill.
 Do not leave the overhead
projector electrical cord plugged
in. Unplug after each use.
 Be sure all rugs and mats are in good condition and do not
create a trip hazard.

 Do not leave chemicals or cleaners out in
the open; place them in their proper storage
area after each use.
 Take the time to find and use a ladder when
one is needed (never stand on chairs).
 Yes, there are maintenance and cleaning
people in your facility, but they don’t know
where all the items belong. That is why
your immediate workspace is your
responsibility.
 Put things back when they are not being
used and do it right away.
