Posted By Stephen Mitchell Alan You will probably get a better response if you state what type of business you are looking for a checklist for.

Posted By Alan E McKerns I'm sure i wont! Just a general one is really the thing i'm looking for. I have a couple to look at at present but i like to analyse a few to ensure i've not missed anything. Regards

Posted By Eric Taylor Trust us Alan, Im quite certain you will find housekeeping in a private residence is entirely different to housekeeping in our electroplating facility. Need to know what the people will be doing before we can give you much assistance.

Posted By Eric Taylor Alan, would doubt you would have one houskeeping checklist to cover the whole plant. The office spaces will differ significantly from the porduction areas. You might have machine shops that only deal with manufacturing casings etc. Do you have a facility that actually makes explisives / propellants and possibly a storage / filling area? Do you have a clean room? Static sensitive equipment? Enclosed or restricted access areas? Working at height cleaning windows etc, etc, etc You can use any old hoover in the office, I wouldn't use it in any of the areas covered by explosive regulations etc, etc. You need to break it down by like areas and the housekeeping tasks to be done. sorry but there ain't no simple solutions unless the work is simple.

Posted By Alan E McKerns Hi, We do all of the above and yes i have the specifics of the site well covered but it's the generals that i want to ensure are covered also. You can focus too much on the main hazards and miss out on the less significant ones that can be likely of occurring. Cheers Alan

Posted By D H Hi - I worked on a site like this in Scotland last year. Housekeeping was good internally and anything that could cause a spark - including car door fobs - were left at security. However, kids got in through the fence on a Saturday night and set fire to the waste stored outside = massive fire and explosives going off. You need to cover the whole site. Dave

Posted By Alan E McKerns For clarification. Massive fire - yes. Explosives going off - no.

Posted By CFT Alan Difficult one this is IMO. I am certain you have everything triple crossed and double dotted with regards to the type of work you undertake. As a definative response is only likely to be available from a colleague in a similar industry for 'housekeeping' per se, with regard to basics, was it a list for everything outside of the potentially volatile area? Just trying to be helpful here. CFT

Posted By Alan E McKerns CFT, Yes it really is just a basic HK tour performed in offices/machine shops/production areas (minus the main hazard)/stores etc, etc. Apologies to all if i've been vague, just didn't want to be too specific if you know what i mean. Cheers all. Alan
