Housekeeping

Housekeeping on a construction site goes beyond just keeping things clean—it's a critical component of jobsite safety. This toolbox talk outlines OSHA requirements related to housekeeping, emphasizing the proper disposal of debris, maintaining clear access to exits and walkways, managing tool storage, and controlling fire hazards. By focusing on cleanliness and organization, workers can help reduce injuries, prevent fires, and maintain compliance with OSHA standards such as 1926.25, 1926 Subpart F, and others. Good housekeeping practices contribute directly to a safer, more efficient work environment for everyone on-site.
