Say this
- Keep walkways and stairs clear. Do not stack anything in passageways or traffic lanes. The law says stored goods must not block passageways, lighting, machinery or fire-fighting equipment (WSH (General Provisions) Regs, reg 24).
- Coil up cables and hoses and hang them up or put them away. A cable across a walkway is a trip waiting to happen (WSH Council housekeeping guidelines).
- Clean up spills now, not tomorrow. Oil and water on a floor put people on their backs.
- Put tools back in their place. Count them. A missing tool may be sitting on a beam above someone's head.
- Keep materials away from edges and openings. They must not be stored where they could fall on people below (WSH Council housekeeping guidelines).
- Empty the waste bins and skips that are full. Rubbish piles feed fires.
- Before you leave, look back. Is the area safe for someone who did not see it today?
Ask the crew
- What must never be blocked by stored materials?
- What do you do with an extension lead at the end of the day?
- Why do we check edges and openings before we leave?
Show them
- Walk the area together and fix three things in five minutes.
- Show where cables, hoses and tools are stored at the end of the shift.
- Point out the fire extinguisher and exit route and check they are clear.
