2–3 Minute Talk Script
Jobsite housekeeping safety is important because cluttered worksites increase the risk of trips, falls, and struck-by injuries.
Materials, tools, and debris should be removed or organized regularly throughout the shift, not just at the end of the day.
Walkways, access points, and emergency equipment must remain clear at all times.
Good housekeeping improves safety, productivity, and morale.
Safety Reminders
- Keep walkways and access points clear.
- Remove debris throughout the shift.
- Store tools and materials properly.
- Do not block exits or emergency equipment.
Ask the Crew
- Are walkways clear in our work area?
- What housekeeping issues need attention today?
