Keeping a job site clean and organized to prevent trips, falls, and fire hazards.
Housekeeping in a construction safety context refers to maintaining a clean and orderly job site by regularly removing debris, waste, and excess materials from work areas. OSHA requires passageways to be kept clear, materials to be stored safely, and combustibles to be managed. Poor housekeeping is a leading cause of slips, trips, falls, and fire hazards on construction sites.
The GC included a daily housekeeping requirement in the site safety plan, holding each subcontractor responsible for cleaning their own work area at the end of each shift.
