Housekeeping
“Some people think housekeeping is a
waste of time. But if you spend five
minutes picking up junk and litter, you
might keep someone from slipping or
tripping. You could prevent an injury
that keeps them off work for weeks or
even months. Five minutes to save
months off work—it’s a good
investment. And next time, it could be
you who gets hurt.”
