Maintain a safe working environment.

Maintenance should be ongoing and result in identifying potential hazards on a job site or in the lab, such as unstable or improperly erected scaffolding, electrical hazards, job-site debris, improperly stored materials, and air quality hazards. When present, hazards must be remedied by appropriate measures and in compliance with the school's and instructor's guidelines.
