Reporting • Report all incidents and near misses to management, even if they do not result in an injury. • Report unsafe working conditions, unsafe practices, or defective tools and equipment to management immediately.

Housekeeping • Keep all exits, aisles, emergency equipment and electrical panels unblocked (36-inch clearance is required). • Help to prevent slip, trip and fall hazards by: o Doing a pre-break clean up and keeping your work area organized throughout the day. o Responding when you see a hazard rather than just walking on. o Cleaning up clutter and trip hazards from walkways as soon as you see them and, at a minimum, before each break. o Keeping tools and equipment in their proper places. o Cleaning up spills of non-hazardous materials right away. Personal Protective Equipment • Properly wear all required personal protective equipment(PPE)at all times when you are in the work area. • Inspect your PPE regularly for wear or defects. • Clean PPE after use, and store it in a clean, designated area. • If your PPE is damaged, inform your supervisor and inquire about a replacement. • Wear enclosed-top, anti-slip soled shoes. Do not wear shoes with thin or badly worn soles. • Do not use compressed air to clean your clothing.
