Clean Up As You Go

Clean up as you work and you will have a safer and more comfortable work area.

It takes less time and effort to straighten and clean as you go than to stop work later for cleanup.

You are also able to do a better job — and enjoy it more  — when your work area is clean and orderly.

Here are some reminders about workplace housekeeping:

• Keep traffic routes and stairways free of clutter such as stored materials or scrap. 
• Regularly clean dust and debris from equipment such as motors and fans to prevent overheating.
• Put trash in the correct receptacles for disposal or recycling. 
• Store materials safely. 
• Don’t overfill shelves, drawers, racks or bins.

Maintaining your workspace as you go is the only way to go.  This habit will save you time and effort in the long run — and will help prevent accidents.
