Housekeeping
Common Areas
- Check that change rooms are clean and well ventilated.
- Wet or damp clothing must be allowed to dry before use.
- Check that the area is free of trip hazards.
- Where employees must change foot wear, a bench or seating area should be provided.
Waste Disposal
- Look for waste containers around the rig, and check that they are secure from insects/animals.
- Check for waste material scattered on the ground near waste containers.
- When handling chemical wastes such as sacks or cans, the same PPE used for mixing should be used for waste disposal.
- If applicable, ensure that waste streams are properly segregated.
Oil Leaks and Overflows
- Check areas where oil leaks, or where drips occur, for proper absorbent material.
- Also check installed catch basins.
- Absorbents should be changed on a regular basis to prevent fire and contamination issues.
- Oily waste should be managed properly to ensure other waste streams are not contaminated if they are to be handled off location.
