The Value of a Daily Safety Sweep
June 10, 2009
Most safety professionals know that they are far more effective when they can be “out on the floor” a “good percentage of the time” (whatever that is). For me, I have found that I can get more bang out of my buck (and the company’s) by being sure to also be out there during the last half hour of the day when folks are cleaning up.
Since housekeeping is the #1 factor towards maintaining a safe work environment, I make it a practice to assist with pushing a broom or shoveling scrap off the floor late in the shift. Employees are always appreciative, plus it gives me an opportunity to thank them for their safety behavior.
