Maintain a safe working environment.

Maintenance should include inspection and be ongoing and should result in identifying potential hazards on a job site or in the lab (i.e., 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.
