Quote:ok lets just say you are a tech of some kind and you see some trash laying on the floor on your way to your work station where you need to analyze some data another department need asap...There is a crew of clean up people assigned to the company who empty the garbage and do general clean up...do you take the little bit of time to do what the clean up crew is getting paid to do and keep the department waiting or do you go to your work station and get busy and let the clean up crew do the job they are getting paid to do?

Trash, tools, or anything else laying on the floor where workers walk constitutes a tripping hazard, which creates an unsafe work environment (a safety issue). A safety issue is to be corrected by the first worker who finds it unless it is beyond that worker's ability to do so, in which case they immediately notify management or a safety team representative.


So basically, what Indy said.
