Our current Slips, Trips and Falls campaign focusses on improving our outside housekeeping. Throughout September we are sharing a series of posters for displaying in your workplaces.

This week we are sharing the third in our series of Slips, Trips & Falls posters, about keeping work areas tidy/organised at all times.

You can find the poster in the download section of the UK News website: Third phase poster for Slips, Trips & Falls campaign (907 downloads)

In this month’s campaign we encourage teams to:

• Complete “hazard spotting” activities on each site associated with outside housekeeping to identify any issues and 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 template in the download section of the UK News website: cemexuknews.co.uk/downloads
• Identify areas where there is regular spillage or poor housekeeping, consider how it can be prevented 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.

Managers can find full details of this Outside Housekeeping – Slips Trips & Falls campaign, along with the before and after template, in the download section of the UK News website: https://cemexuknews.co.uk/downloads
