What are some benefits of good housekeeping practices?


Effective housekeeping results in:
  • reduced handling to ease the flow of materials
  • fewer tripping and slipping accidents in clutter-free and spill-free work areas
  • decreased fire hazards
  • lower worker exposures to hazardous substances (e.g. dusts, vapours)
  • better control of tools and materials, including inventory and supplies
  • more efficient equipment cleanup and maintenance
  • better hygienic conditions leading to improved health
  • more effective use of space
  • reduced property damage by improving preventive maintenance
  • less janitorial work
  • improved morale
  • improved productivity (tools and materials will be easy to find)

  1. House keeping:
    If housekeeping is not properly managed it can cause difficulty for the safe movement around the workplace; it can block essential emergency services causing difficulty in escaping in the event of emergency. It can block lights and create poor visibility; risk of collapse and fall at the same level.
    Recommendations;
    Areas must be well lit and materials shall be stacked properly; do not keep any item or material which can block the emergency walk way; use sign boards to alert housekeeping in progress. Monitoring the housekeeping activities and reporting will help to reduce the accidents.
