The summer holidays are a good time to tidy up and give offices and laboratories a once-over

As the holidays near, work starts to slow down. It’s time to check cabinets and shelves to make sure they are tidy and clean.

A pre-holiday to-do list:

  • Review material expiration dates.
  • Place solvents in secure cabinets.
  • Free up shelves and tables to make cleaning easier.
  • Check that laboratory passageways and the routes to fire-fighting and to other devices are free of obstacles.
  • Dispose of waste, even if the drums are not full.

It’s also a good idea to tidy up and review the state of offices and eliminate the documents that have accumulated over the years. Disorder leads to a lack of control, causes accidents and wastes time.

Maintaining order and improving cleanliness are sure-fire values for working safely, healthily and efficiently. So let’s leave having checked and tidied up the different spaces!
