The second phase of our Slips, Trips & Falls campaign focusses on improving our outside housekeeping.
Throughout this month we will be sharing a series of posters for displaying in your workplaces.
In this month’s campaign we encourage teams to:
- Complete “hazard spotting” activities on each site associated with outside housekeeping to identify any issues & create a NMHA for each
- Walk the regular routes – what hazards do you spot?
- Check well-identified paths and passages
- Make preparations for adverse weather later in the year, providing necessary equipment and grit salt for snow and ice
- Produce before and after posters to highlight improvements, using the attached template
- Identify areas where there is regular spillage or poor housekeeping, consider how it can be revented at source
- Ask team members to check their safety boots are in good condition, with good grip, and can be laced to the top to provide ankle protection
- Going further with 5S methodology
- Remind teams that housekeeping issues are not minor, and should be reported as a NMHA if applicable
- Ensure site inspection schemes include formal housekeeping checks (exterior and interior) at least quarterly
