A housekeeping checklist for your business

No Comments Professional Services

Good housekeeping practices reduce your chances of fires, accidents and injuries. They also leave clients with a good impression of your business. So what bases should you cover when incorporating housekeeping into your loss prevention program?

Housekeeing checklist

General Housekeeping

  • Keep aisles free of equipment, products and debris.
  • Clean floors daily to prevent the buildup of dust, waste paper, and scrap.
  • Don’t allow smoking in all areas of your facility and post “no smoking” signs as well.

Dust Control

  • Keep all surfaces – including beams, ceilings and hidden spaces – dust free.
  • Clean dust with a vacuum that has a static reducing device.
  • A dust collection system with spark detection comes in handy while sanding wood and performing other dust producing processes.

Trash

  • Empty trash containers daily.
  • Store waste containers outside in a designated area that’s away from the building.
  • Garbage should be separated by type (wood, paper, oily rags) and placed in non- combustible containers.
  • Remove packaging waste such as shredded paper and plastic from the work area on a daily basis.
