  1. Aisles should be clear at all times to avoid tripping or other accidents.
  2. Keep floors free of oil, grease, or any other type of liquid. Clean up spilled liquids immediately; they are slipping hazards.
  3. Keep the floor clear of metal chips and scrap pieces. Put them in the containers provided for them. Scrap pieces are tripping hazards, and chips may cut through a shoe and injure the foot.
  4. Place all scrap pieces in the correct containers.
  5. Store materials in such a way that they cannot become tripping hazards.
  6. Put tools away when not in use.
