1 Good Housekeeping There s an easy way to tell whether workers and employers at a construction company are committed to safety and health: just take a look at the jobsite. When good housekeeping is not practiced, the jobsite becomes significantly more dangerous for everyone: workers, vendors, bystanders, neighbors, and even for the immediate environment. Poor housekeeping is usually a sign that other safety issues are likely being ignored. Good housekeeping, however, reduces the risk of accidents, injuries, and deaths. Practicing good housekeeping is a basic part of any safety program. Consider how many people work on a jobsite and all the chemicals, materials, tools, and equipment they use. If we don t all help clean up as we work, the jobsite can quickly turn into a dangerous mess. Poor housekeeping can cause fires (by providing fuel), falls (from tripping over tools or debris), bug and rodent problems (because there is trash lying around), struck-by injuries (from falling objects), and slips (on wet or slick surfaces). In addition, poor housekeeping makes a jobsite less productive and less efficient. Think of all the time that can be wasted when you have to sidestep or work around garbage piles, or you have to search for tools and materials that aren t where they re supposed to be. Keep these good housekeeping tips in mind to keep our jobsite clean from beginning to end: Make cleaning up part of your routine as you complete tasks throughout the day. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Put trash, debris, and recyclables in the proper receptacles as you work. Don t wait until the end of your shift to clean up a whole day s worth of hazards that were left in your wake. Sweep up dirt, sawdust, and other debris so floors are not slippery. Keep stairs, passageways, gangways, and scaffolds free of supplies, cords, hoses, tools, materials, and all other obstructions. Keep all materials in neat, stable piles. Secure loose materials to keep them from rolling or falling, especially if you re working at height. Keep materials away from openings, roof edges, trenches, and excavations. Put tools and equipment away properly, and where they belong when they re not in use. Remove nails that are sticking out of lumber. Eliminate slip and skate hazards: clean up spills immediately, and never leave round items like conduit scraps, welding rods, etc., on the floor. Dispose of flammables, including greasy or oily rags, in approved containers. Keep break areas clean. SAFETY REMINDER Avoid slips, trips, and falls at home: keep toys, shoes, and other objects off the stairs and out of doorways. MEETING DOCUMENTATION: JOB NAME: MEETING DATE: ATTENDEES: S.A.F.E.

4 La buena limpieza y mantenimiento (Good Housekeeping) Hay una manera fácil de averiguar si los trabajadores y empleadores en una compañía constructora estén comprometidos a la salud y seguridad: simplemente observe la obra. Cuando no se practica la buena limpieza y mantenimiento, la obra se vuelve significativamente más peligrosa para todos: para trabajadores, proveedores, personal ajeno, vecinos, e inclusive para el medio ambiente inmediato. La mala limpieza y mantenimiento generalmente es señal que otros problemas de seguridad probablemente están siendo ignorados. Sin embargo, la buena limpieza y mantenimiento reduce el riesgo de accidentes, lesiones, y muertes. Practicar la buena limpieza y mantenimiento es una parte básica de cualquier programa de seguridad. Considere cuántas personas trabajan en una obra y todas las sustancias químicas, materiales, herramientas, y equipo que usan. Si no ayudamos todos a limpiar en la medida en que trabajamos, la obra rápidamente puede convertirse en un caos peligroso. La mala limpieza y mantenimiento puede causar incendios (al proporcionar combustible), caídas (al causar tropiezos con las herramientas o escombro), problemas con bichos y roedores (porque hay basura tirada por todos lados), lesiones por impacto (por la caída de objetos), y resbalones (por superficies resbalosas o mojadas). Además, la mala limpieza y mantenimiento convierte a la obra en algo menos productiva y menos eficiente. Piense en todo el tiempo que se desperdicia cuando tiene que caminar alrededor de montones de basura, o cuando tiene que buscar las herramientas y materiales que no están en donde deben de estar. Tenga en mente estos consejos de buena limpieza y mantenimiento para mantener limpia nuestra obra de principio a fin: Haga que la limpieza sea una parte de su rutina al completar cada tarea durante el día. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Coloque la basura, escombro, y reciclables en los debidos receptáculos al trabajar. No espere hasta el final de su turno de trabajo para limpiar la acumulación de todo el día de peligros dejados atrás por usted. Barra la tierra, aserrín, y otros escombros para que los pisos no estén resbalosos. Mantenga las escaleras, corredores, pasillos y andamios libres de productos y materiales, cables, mangueras, herramientas, materiales, y todas las demás obstrucciones. Mantenga todos los materiales en pilas arregladas y estables. Sujete los materiales sueltos para que no rueden o se caigan, especialmente si está trabajando desde una altura. Mantenga los materiales lejos de aberturas, bordes de techos, zanjas, y excavaciones. Guarde las herramientas y el equipo correctamente y en su sitio correcto cuando no están siendo usados. Saque los clavos salientes en la madera. Elimine los peligros de resbalón y patinado: limpie inmediatamente los derrames y nunca deje objetos como escombros de conductos, varillas para soldar, etc., en el piso o suelo. Deseche los materiales inflamables, incluyendo trapos grasientos o aceitosos, en recipientes aprobados. Mantenga limpias las áreas de descanso. SAFETY REMINDER Evite los resbalones, tropezones, y caídas en casa: mantenga los juguetes, zapatos, y otros objetos lejos de escaleras y puertas.
