In studies of labor productivity on project sites, Dr. Randolph Thomas, Professor, Penn State University, has identified project housekeeping (cleanliness, orderliness) as a direct factor in determining labor productivity.
Cluttered projects have low productivity. When job sites are cluttered and disorganized, workers have to work around the clutter and waste time searching for missing components
To make it possible for all workers on your projects, simply clean up the project and keep it clean.
Contractors need to provide adequate facilities for disposing of trash efficiently and to provide appropriate general project cleaning. Another important element is to have clear expectations of workers and enforce the rules. Orderliness includes keeping an appropriate level of materials on-site and keeping them organized and located conveniently. Tools and equipment should also be stored properly and located near the work sites.
Workers should be expected to place trash and debris in proper receptacles, keep scrap lumber orderly and free of nails, keeping their work areas clean and return tools and unused materials to the appropriate places.
Storage and work areas that will be muddy should be improved using fill, gravel, plywood or planks. Stairs and emergency exits should be kept open at all times.
Clean and orderly projects will also promote good safety practices and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
