["The journeyman is ready to drive the scissor lift down the hall to hang the next section of metal, but you leave scrap metal cut-offs, uncoiled extension lines, and empty cardboard boxes scattered directly in the lift's driving track.", 'Keep the lift path clean before the journeyman moves. Scrap, cords, and boxes in the driving lane can damage equipment or create a tip/trip hazard. The likely recovery is to check the condition, correct prep/setup if it is within your assignment, and bring the foreman clean information before the work creates rework overhead.']
