Maintain a safe working environment.

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