Housekeeping Practicing good housekeeping habits is critical to our safety at NASSCO. Many workplace accidents are caused by carelessness and sloppiness. Good housekeeping includes: Keep all material, trash, and debris picked up and put into the proper containers. Plan your placement of leads, cords and hoses. Place them in cable hangers and/or crossovers. Route lines, leads, and hoses behind a ladder, not at the top or bottom of the access area to the ladder. Immediately up all spills. Eat only in designated areas and throw your trash in the trash cans. Do not bring newspapers and magazines on board any ship or hull. Do not start any hot work operation until all trash, combustibles (including clothing or unprotected tool bags), or flammable liquids and materials are removed from your area.
