Housekeeping

Reducing accidents?

Tidiness is one of the foundation stones of safety and good environmental practice. Many accidents are caused through people tripping, slipping and falling over materials and equipment which should not have been left lying around. Environmental problems could be avoided if materials were disposed of properly instead of being allowed to escape into the surrounding area.

This is an area where everyone on site can make a significant contribution to safety and the environment, merely by applying common sense.
.Do not leave rubbish lying about - clean up as you go.
.Do not rely on others to clear things up.
.Ensure all waste is disposed of in the correct skip or bin.
.Do not obstruct gangways, aisles or stairways with tools or materials.
.Position all cables out of the way. Where possible, do not lay them across pedestrian walkways.
.Do not let large quantities of waste material to build up as this provides a good starting point for fire.
Proper waste disposal is an integral part of good housekeeping. Not only does this improve site tidiness but it also improves safety and reduces the likelihood of pollution occurring and of individuals being fined. A tidy site is safe and efficient.

smoking ban

Well the smoking ban has now been in force for four days. I walked up Wellingborough High Street and the majority of shops displayed the no smoking signage. There was one notable exeption.

Perhaps the law does not apply to MPs?
