Fixing Housekeeping Issues

7. Notify managers of damaged equipment

Housekeeping Solutions to Avoid
1. Using a compressed air hose to blow away dirt and dust

Listen to employee complaints• Employees can use the suggestions tab in MKO• Most housekeeping issues have been complained about
but not acted on
OSHA cites housekeeping regulations often• OSHA will use this as a catch all
