Did you know that OSHA has a standard on housekeeping? 

OSHA 1910.22 states that “All places of employment, passageways, storerooms and service rooms shall be kept clean and orderly and in a sanitary condition.” It is your responsibility to maintain good housekeeping in your work area:

• Keep floors free of tripping and slipping hazards.
• Don’t accumulate unnecessary items which just add to general clutter and can fuel a fire.
• Store items in their proper location.
• Pick up trash and discard properly.

Thank you for helping to make Messiah College a safe place to work!
