II. Background Information for Learners

Proper housekeeping (5S) Implementation

The word ‘housekeeping’ generally brings to mind the normal chores like cleaning,
dusting, arranging things and organizing clutter. But in the case of workplace
housekeeping, it means way more than all this

The term ‘workplace housekeeping’ covers more aspects than the normal housekeeping
and is very crucial and important for safeguarding the workplaces.

Office housekeeping helps in preventing injuries and improving a good workplace

atmosphere. In many companies, it is the basic and important norm that workplace
hygiene and cleanliness in the workplace should maintain and if the parameters not
met, then the employer can liable to pay fines for non-compliance.

Workplace housekeeping should be extended to and practiced at all the workplaces like
offices, warehouses, factories, and manufacturing units where there is a presence of
dangerous materials, dust and other flammable things.
The whole idea behind the workplace housekeeping is to make the workplace a better,
hygienic and safe place to work at. The importance of housekeeping has a vital role in
the workplace safety program and to make this program successful, the employees
must participate in and do the needful.
Good housekeeping holds a very important position in the workplace as it helps in
eliminating some workplace hazards. Proper safety also ensures good housekeeping
by implanting safety procedures in the workplace.

Poor housekeeping can frequently contribute to accidents by increasing the risks of

many kinds of hazards that cause injuries. If at the workplace debris, clutter and spills
are accepted as normal then, in that case, there are chances for more serious health
and safety hazards.

Housekeeping in the workplace refers to not only cleanliness but also includes the
neatness in the workplace and all workplace safety procedures.

What is 5S system?
5S is a system for establishing spaces to improve efficiency and productivity to Maintain
safety and cleanliness to maintain good control over the processes to maintain good
product quality and a better and safe environment at the workplace.

 Developed by the Japanese.

Benefits of 5S

5s methodology has many benefits, which includes: –

The 5S Methodology
The 5s methodology is an organized procedure for workplace management to improve
the quality, production and safety.

This procedure has five steps such as Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and
Sustain (Seiri –Seiton – Seiso – Seiketsu –Shitsuke), the step consider of 5s in the
workplace of organizing item, cleaning, waste management, segregation of unwanted
materials etc.
These steps need to be implemented regularly and with proper planning and
mentioning. At the end of the implementation, we have to monitor all five steps and
make 5s as a part of the company policy/manual for better results/implementation
The 5s principles

 SEIRI – Organization/sort out.

 SEITON – orderliness/Set in order
 SEISO – the cleaning/shine.
 SEIKETSU – standardize.
 SHITSUKE – sustain/discipline.

How To Implement 5S Steps At The Workplace.

For Wavering Items

 Stored suspected items in the red tag zone for one week.
 Allow the staff to reevaluate the needed items
 The end of the red tag items reevaluates and should be returned.

Organization – As soon as we recognize these elements, then we take action by:

 Stored in the red tags area for a period of time to see if they are required.
 Throwing away or discarding them.
 Changing their location.

Essential Personal Protective Equipment for Plumber and Their Benefits

1. Face and Eye Protection

Spectacles, safety goggles, and full-face shields are essential protective gears a plumber
should consider using when handling the task. This safety gears are commonly used when
handling power tools. This safety equipment helps the plumber to effectively and efficiently
complete the task. In addition, the plumber will complete the task on time. This will give you a
homeowners peace of mind, thus improving production in their fields of specialization.

2. Head Protection

Protective helmets are important in a plumbing site because they prevent injuries from flying or
falling objects. Recently, due to advanced technology, some hard hats are equipped with
accessories, such as earmuffs and shields. A plumber should consider buying a well-fitted
protective helmet to prevent inconveniences. Too small or too large hard hats are inappropriate
to use. Falling or flying objects might lead to severe head injuries, which will cost a plumber a
huge amount of money in the long run. Therefore, it’s a great idea to invest in a suitable
protective helmet.

3. Hand and Skin Protection

Plumbing projects typically require the use of hands. Recently, there have been many reported
cases of hand injuries resulting from lack of hand protective gear. Also, a plumber can suffer
from various occupational skin diseases, such as skin cancer, dermatitis, and other severe skin
injuries. These diseases are costly because they require a high medical cost. Hands are the
most common part of the body, which is involved in plumbing projects. Therefore, hand gloves
are essential because they lower the risk of hand and skin diseases. There are different types of
gloves that can be used as PPE for plumbers. These types include cut-resistant gloves, rubber
gloves, heat-resistant gloves, chainsaw gloves. Gloves are essential when a plumber is
handling tasks that involve hot materials, electricity, and slippery objects.

4. Respiratory Protection

Production of toxic substances is common in plumbing sites. Respiratory protection gears, such
as respirators, are designed to protect a plumber from fumes, dust, and other dangerous
substances that could lead to respiratory problems. Respiratory protection gears are important
in areas where there’s air contamination.

5. Hearing Protection

Noise pollution in plumbing sites can lead to permanent hearing impairment. Earplugs
and earmuffs are the common hearing protection equipment in plumbing projects. Note
that earplugs are effective in reducing low-frequency noise, whereas earmuffs are
effective in preventing high-frequency noise.
