Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) To the extent that the nature of the work
						allows, workplaces, storerooms, personal service rooms and passageways shall be
						kept clean, orderly and in a sanitary condition. The interiors, exteriors and
						environs of buildings that contribute to a hazard to which these orders apply
						shall be cleaned and maintained in such conditions as will not give rise to
						harmful exposure, as defined in Section
						5140.
(b) Cleaning and sweeping shall be done in
						such a manner as to minimize the contamination of the air and, insofar as is
						practicable, shall be performed at such time and in such a manner that will
						avoid harmful exposures as defined in Section
						5140.
(c) To facilitate cleaning, every floor,
						workroom, personal service room and passageway shall be kept free from
						protruding nails, splinters, loose boards and unnecessary holes and
						openings.
(d) All putrescible waste
						or refuse shall be stored in a receptacle so constructed that it does not leak
						and may be conveniently and thoroughly cleaned. Such a receptacle shall be
						maintained in a sanitary condition and shall be equipped with a tight fitting
						cover if it cannot be maintained in a sanitary condition without one. (This
						provision does not prohibit the use of receptacles which are designed to permit
						the maintenance of a sanitary condition without regard to the above
						requirements.)
(e) All sweepings,
						putrescible wastes, refuse and garbage shall be removed in such a manner as to
						avoid creating a nuisance and shall be removed as often as necessary to avoid
						creating a menace to health through the development of unsanitary
						conditions.
(f) Every enclosed
						workplace and personal service room shall be equipped and maintained, insofar
						as is practicable, to prevent the entrance or harborage of insects, rodents or
						other vermin. An effective program of extermination and control shall be
						instituted whenever their presence is detected.
(g) When exterior water intrusion, leakage
						from interior water sources, or other uncontrolled accumulation of water
						occurs, the intrusion, leakage or accumulation shall be corrected because of
						the potential for these conditions to cause the growth of mold.
