面對危化品隱患，你該怎么辦

Protections such as a toe board can help prevent objects from falling and hitting workers or equipment. Other tips include stacking boxes and materials straight up and down to keep them from falling. Place heavy objects on lower shelves, and keep equipment away from the edges of desks and tables.

6. Clear clutter
清理雜物

Keep aisles, stairways, emergency exits, electrical panels and doors clear of clutter, and purge untidy areas. Empty trash receptacles before they overflow.
過道、樓梯、緊急出口、配電板和門口處禁止堆放雜物，臟亂場所應(yīng)清理干凈。垃圾箱裝滿前應(yīng)清空。

7. Store materials properly
正確儲藏物品

Storage areas should not have an accumulation of materials that present hazards for tripping, fire, explosion or pests. Unused materials and equipment should be stored out of the way of workers. Remember to put everything back in its proper place. Keeping a storage space nearby so workers are encouraged to use it.
儲藏區(qū)不應(yīng)堆放可能絆倒人、引發(fā)火災(zāi)和爆炸、招致害蟲的物品。未使用過的物品和設(shè)備應(yīng)放在不影響工人的區(qū)域。謹記所有物品用完后應(yīng)放到合適的地方。儲藏區(qū)應(yīng)設(shè)在附近，以方便工人使用。

8. Use and inspect personal protective equipment and tools

Wear basic PPE – such as closed-toe shoes and safety glasses – while performing housekeeping. Determine what type of PPE to don based on the potential risks. Regularly inspect, clean and fix tools. Remove any damaged tools from the work area.

9. Determine frequency

打掃衛(wèi)生人人有責(zé)，特別是個人工作區(qū)應(yīng)保持干凈，上報安全隱患并清理泄漏液體。公司應(yīng)既有全面大掃除，又經(jīng)常做一般性清掃，如掃除垃圾，清理泄漏液體。

Housekeeping policies should be put in writing. Written protocols could specify which cleaners, tools and methods should be used.

11. Think long-term
著眼長遠

Housekeeping should be more than a one-time initiative. Keep records, maintain a regular walkthrough inspection schedule, report hazards and train employees to help sustain housekeeping.
清潔衛(wèi)生不應(yīng)該只是三分鐘熱度。應(yīng)該做記錄，定期做全面檢查，匯報隱患，指導(dǎo)員工經(jīng)常清潔衛(wèi)生。
