This housekeeping checklist helps teams improve workplace safety and compliance by addressing common hazards and good housekeeping practices. It covers keeping floors and walking surfaces free of tripping hazards like tools, cords, hoses, materials, and liquids; proper disposal of combustible waste in noncombustible containers with tight, spill proof lids; safe storage of packing materials; removal of protruding nails, brads, and staples; keeping aisles and passageways clear; maintaining an 18 inch clearance below fire sprinklers when stacking materials under 15 feet; and using adequate, leakproof trash containers. Aligned with AFI 91 203 guidance.

Post-Construction Cleaning Checklist
Use this post-construction cleaning checklist to ensure newly built or renovated sites are clean, safe, and ready for handover. The template guides teams through ground and floor checks, access routes and movement, working area housekeeping, delivery and storage practices, and rubbish and waste disposal—including handling hazardous waste correctly. Verify common areas and amenities, remove dust and debris, eliminate trip hazards, and confirm ramps and scaffolds are clear. Capture photo evidence, add corrective actions, and complete sign-off with inspector and supervisor signatures. Ideal for contractors, cleaning teams, and facility managers to standardize post-build cleanup and documentation.
