3040 – 13 – Utilizing Worksite Organization

1m

A properly maintained worksite that is regularly cleaned can minimize contact with MWFs. You may need to clean the floors, equipment, and the work area especially when waste accumulates. All MWFs need to be put away correctly and any messes need to be cleaned. All worksites should be inspected for proper cleaning conditions. Don’t dump wastes like floor wash water or dirty MWFs into the sump. Check with your supervisor about any problems with worksite safety.

You need to obey the labels and warnings on hazardous materials. A variety of warnings need to be posted to tell bystander and operators about hazardous materials or processes or even what protective equipment should be in use before going into the work area. All labels need to be in English or the predominant language of other employees who many not read English. If you don’t understand the sign or equipment, talk to your supervisor.
