What are the tips for good housekeeping?

I would like to keep my office with good Housekeeping. Tips please.

The number one piece of advice I have is don't let it get away from you.
Don't let the clutter begin and keeping it tidy is a snap.
Put things back where they belong right away.
Toss out/shred junk paperwork as soon as it hits your hands.
Straighten up your work area at the end of the day and when you come in the next morning you won't walk in to chaos.

    just read the below PDF for know about office housekeeping

    General safety and housekeeping in our busy office environment should not be
    overlooked. Good housekeeping practices protect people from a variety of possible
    injuries and illnesses and provide a pleasant and clean workplace !!
    Electrical Equipment
    • Extension cords should be used for temporary power
    only. Cords on floors can be trip hazards and are easily
    damaged by trolleys and chair castors which in turn can
    create an electrical hazard. To install permanent wiring,
    contact Facilities Management Services. Note: Extension
    cords should not be run through doorways, walls,
    across ceilings, or under carpets. They should never be
    placed over radiators, steam pipes or plugged into other extension cords.
    • Do not use power strips in multiple, “daisy chain” combinations.
    • Avoid the use of three-prong to two-prong adapters. Find a three-prong outlet.
    • The use of space heaters in the confines of office workstations can be hazardous.
    Ensure that space heaters are UL-listed, are equipped with automatic
    shut-offs that will actuate if the heater tips over and located at least
    3 feet from paper and other combustible material.
    Storage & Cabinets
    • Don’t place file cabinets where people are likely to
    walk into open drawers.
    • Do not overload top drawers and create a top-heavy
    file cabinet that could topple. Keep files loosely
    packed to prevent hand and wrist strains.
    • Store items in an approved storage space. Take care
    not to stack boxes too high (It is helpful to label the
    boxes with their contents to avoid unnecessary handling).
    • Bookshelves and cabinets over 4 feet in height can be unstable and must
    be secured so they will not fall over.
    Slips Trips and Falls
    • Trips often result from obstructions and uneven surfaces, and can usually
    be avoided by ensuring that floor surfaces are clear and even.
    • Ensure that office lighting is adequate and replace burned out light bulbs.
    • Clean spills and pick up fallen debris immediately. Even a loose pencil
    could cause someone to slip.

    procedures can be found on the EH&S Web Page at:
