Write down the accepted cleanup methods
Keep the shop's approved cleanup methods with dates, responsible roles, and the tools used. Include wet cleanup and HEPA vacuum references where they apply.
Flag prohibited practices for review
The binder should make it easy to confirm whether workers have been told which cleanup practices are not allowed and whether supervisors reviewed the rule.
Use short recurring logs
A simple daily or weekly housekeeping log can show that cleanup practices were monitored instead of reconstructed after a problem appears.
