Housekeeping
Poor housekeeping is another factor that contributes to office
fires. All building occupants have a responsibility to maintain
'good housekeeping' in their own work area. The following
rules should be observed:
Close filing cabinets and cupboards and clear desks of
all unnecessary papers before leaving the office for the
day.
Don't keep large quantities of loose papers on desks.
Place all waste materials in the proper waste containers.
See that all electrical equipment is switched off.
See that aisles are not obstructed in any way.
See that all doors are kept free from obstructions and are
not wedged open.
Empty contents of waste containers regularly.
Discard of all packing materials and remove shredded paper.
Housekeeping should be carried out on a regular basis to
ensure that no hazards or unnecessary combustibles accumulate
in the area
