This is a classic HSE Housekeeping training poster. It shows the same 5 problems before and after they are fixed.
The message at the top says it all: A clean workplace is a safe workplace.
HSE = Health, Safety and Environment. Housekeeping is one of the biggest parts of HSE because most slips, trips, falls, fires and pollution incidents start with poor housekeeping.
How to read it
Left column - OBSERVATION (Red): The hazard as found. This is what you would report during an inspection.
Right column - CLOSE-OUT (Green): The corrective action. This is how you close the observation.
Top right - IDENTIFY > ACT > SUSTAIN: Find the hazard, fix it, then keep it that way.
The 5 examples
1. CLUTTERED WALKWAY vs CLEAN & ORGANIZED WALKWAY
Observation: Materials, pipes, boxes and tools scattered across the pedestrian walkway. Major trip hazard, blocks movement, can cause injury and slows emergency response.
Close-out: Walkway is clear, marked with yellow lines and a "PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY" sign. Materials are properly stored on racks and pallets. Rule: walkways must always be clear.
2. OIL / CHEMICAL SPILL vs SPILL CLEANED & CONTROLLED
Observation: Drum fallen over, oil/chemical on the floor. Slip hazard, fire hazard, skin contact and environmental pollution.
Close-out: Drum is upright on a spill pallet/bund, absorbent granules used to soak up the spill, area marked with "CAUTION WET FLOOR", spill kit cabinet nearby. Good practice is contain, absorb, clean, and signpost.
3. BLOCKED EMERGENCY EXIT vs CLEAR EMERGENCY EXIT
Observation: Exit door and fire extinguisher blocked by boxes, pallets and scrap. In a fire, people can't escape and can't reach the extinguisher. This is a critical violation.
Close-out: Exit is completely clear, floor marked, extinguisher is visible, accessible and signed. Exits and fire equipment must NEVER be blocked.
4. LOOSE TANGLED CABLES vs CABLES SECURED & ROUTED
Observation: Electrical extension cables tangled on the floor. Trip hazard plus risk of electric shock, short circuit and fire.
Close-out: Cables are routed through proper cable trays and conduits on the wall, floor crossing is covered with a cable protector. Manage cables off the floor.
5. OVERFLOWING WASTE BINS vs WASTE SEGREGATED & MANAGED
Observation: Bins overflowing, mixed waste on the ground, flies and bad smell. Health hazard, pest attraction, fire risk, pollution.
Close-out: Waste is segregated into labeled, color-coded bins: Blue for RECYCLABLE, Yellow for GENERAL WASTE, Green for ORGANIC, Red for HAZARDOUS. Clean, covered, and sorted. This is basic waste management and hygiene.
The bottom line
BETTER HOUSEKEEPING > FEWER INCIDENTS > SAFER WORKPLACE
This poster is designed for toolbox talks, safety inductions, and workplace audits. You can use it to teach workers how to spot a housekeeping issue and what "good" looks like when they close it.
In practice, you'd take a photo of the observation, raise it, fix it the same way as the right side, then take a close-out photo as proof. ⚠️π¦π️π‘️π¨π¦Ί⛑️πΌπ§π₯
