Following recent workplace inspections, we have discovered that staff are not following the clear desk and health and safety principles at various sites. This is causing unnecessary risks and also affects the cleaning of those areas.

  • Desks must be left clear, with no materials left other that the standard IT kit provided by the Trust
  • Desks must not be personalised and areas should not have flowers or plants as colleagues/visitors may have allergies
  • Nothing should be stored on the floor or under desks
  • Nothing should be stored on top of cabinets, window sills or above shoulder height
  • Fire exits and corridors must be kept clear at all times
  • Items are not to be stored under stairs
  • All cables should be tidy and arranged so not to cause a trip hazard
  • Any defects in the building should be reported immediately to the estates and facilities helpdesk
  • Bins must not be overfilled, especially with heavy objects.

Thank you for your cooperation.
