Maintain a safe working environment.

Maintaining safety should be an ongoing process and should 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, in compliance with school and instructor guidelines.

• What are examples of job-site hazards?
• Why is it important to use good housekeeping standards on a job site?
• Why is it important to store materials and tools in their proper places?
