Housekeeping and Fastener Control
Keep screws, cutoffs, drill shavings, straps, wire, and sharp scrap controlled while the work is happening-not only at cleanup time.
Stop if
- Where do you want scrap, loose fasteners, and drill shavings staged in this area so we do not leave hazards or debris behind?
Watch out
- Do not toss screws into ceiling spaces, leave cookies in duct, or let sharp scraps collect on lifts and walk paths.
Check
- Set a scrap bucket or magnetic tray before starting
- Count and contain loose fasteners around equipment and finished areas
- Sweep or vacuum drill shavings before they spread
- Remove sharp drops from lifts, ladders, and ceiling grid
- Leave access paths and floor openings clear
