Housekeeping Report 2: Housekeeping ▫ To introduce you to the importance of good housekeeping in preventing most common accidents in the workplace (we also think it will be good to implement in your homes and schools). The 5S, a Japanese concept that aims to optimize time for production, is a very practical, simple and proven approach to improving housekeeping in the workplace. Housekeeping is important because it lessens accidents and related injuries and illnesses. It therefore improves productivity and minimizes direct/indirect costs of accidents/illnesses. Housekeeping means putting everything in its proper place. It is everybody’s business to observe it in the workplace. Minimum Content of Report
▫ Explain the value of practicing good housekeeping
▫ Recall and explain the role of management, supervisor and employees in good housekeeping activities ▫ Identify and discuss good housekeeping practices Value of practicing good housekeeping ▫ Effective housekeeping can help control or eliminate workplace hazards. Poor housekeeping practices frequently contribute to incidents. If the sight of paper, debris, clutter and spills is accepted as normal, then other more serious hazards may be taken for granted. ▫ Effective housekeeping is an ongoing operation: it is not a one-time or hit- and-miss cleanup done occasionally. Periodic "panic" cleanups are costly and ineffective in reducing incidents. ▫ Housekeeping is not just cleanliness. It includes keeping work areas neat and orderly, maintaining halls and floors free of slip and trip hazards, and removing of waste materials (e.g., paper, cardboard) and other fire hazards from work areas. It also requires paying attention to important details such as the layout of the whole workplace, aisle marking, the adequacy of storage facilities, and maintenance. Good housekeeping is also a basic part of incident and fire prevention. Role of management, supervisor and employees in good housekeeping activities ▫ Management plays an essential role in inculcating workplace ethics in employees. Bosses need to set an example for their subordinates. You need to come on time if you expect your team members to reach office on time. ▫ Supervisors are the closest to the actual work being done and can address and resolve workers' health and safety concerns. A supervisor is an individual who is authorized by an employer to oversee or direct the work of the employer’s workers. ▫ The importance of housekeeping has a vital role in the workplace safety program and to make this program successful, the employees must participate in and do the needful. Good housekeeping holds a very important position in the workplace as it helps in eliminating some workplace hazards. Proper safety also ensures good housekeeping by implanting safety procedures in the workplace. Identify and discuss good housekeeping practices
5S Of Japanese ▫ SEIRI ▫ SEITON ▫ SEISO ▫ SEIKETSU ▫ SHITSUKE SEIRI (SORT)
▫ Sort through materials, keeping only the essential
items needed to complete tasks. (This action involves going through all the contents of a workspace to determine which are needed and which can be removed. Everything that is not used to complete a work process should leave the work area.) SEITON (SET IN ORDER)
▫ Ensure that all items are organized and each item
has a designated place. Organize all the items left in the workplace in a logical way so they make tasks easier for workers to complete. This often involves placing items in ergonomic locations where people will not need to bend or make extra movements to reach them. SEISO (SHINE)
▫ Proactive efforts to keep workplace areas clean and
orderly to ensure purpose-driven work. This means cleaning and maintaining the newly organized workspace. It can involve routine tasks such as mopping, dusting, etc. or performing maintenance on machinery, tools, and other equipment. SEIKETSU (STANDARDIZE)
▫ Create a set of standards for both organization
and processes. In essence, this is where you take the first three S's and make rules for how and when these tasks will be performed. These standards can involve schedules, charts, lists, etc. SHITSUKE (SUSTAIN)
▫ Sustain new practices and conduct audits to
maintain discipline. This means the previous four S's must be continued over time. This is achieved by developing a sense of self-discipline in employees who will participate in 5S. PRESENTED BY: JUDY RHEINE C. ALAWIN BSME 3
