Chemical manufacturing plants are often messy and untidy, with items placed in an unorganized manner; some standard should be used as a basis for on-site management
Does the company of the poster not have any specific policies or evaluation criteria regarding hygiene? I checked some information, but there are no standards in this regard. The General Provisions on Safety and Hygiene Requirements in the Production Process, GBT 12801-2008, seem to imply something along those lines. I found some information online, but it’s not standard (for reference only). Enterprises must strictly comply with **regulations and standards regarding labor safety and occupational health, and provide employees with working conditions and production environments that meet the required standards. The production area must meet the following requirements: (1) The production area should be tidy, clean, well-lit, and have good ventilation; walkways and driveways should be smooth and unobstructed, and passages should be adequately lit. (II) Safety warning signs should be installed in the production area, and signs indicating emergency exits and entrances should be provided.
Let’s see if this specification will work Principle of work area organization in the \"General Requirements for Safety and Health in Production Processes\" (GB/T12801-2008): a) The layout of the work area should ensure that personnel have sufficient space for safe activities. The layout of equipment, tools, and auxiliary facilities, as well as the storage of production materials, products, and leftover materials, along with the arrangement and spacing of walkways and traffic lanes, should all prevent any interference with personnel’s work and avoid any potential hazards ; b) For the storage of production materials, products, and semi-finished goods in the work area, the storage areas should be marked on the ground with yellow or white markings, or shelves and platforms should be used for storage, in order to ensure the safety of personnel and keep the passageways unobstructed ; c) For seated work, the control panel, seat, foot pedals, as well as shelves and trays for storing production materials, products, or tools should be arranged in accordance with the physiological characteristics of the workers and ergonomic requirements ; d.) When storing production materials and tools in areas where work is carried out at heights, it is necessary to strictly control the quantity and arrange them properly, so as to ensure ease of operation for workers and prevent falls of people or objects ; e) In narrow working areas such as tunnels, the arrangement of products, equipment, and tools must not only facilitate the work of personnel but also ensure that safety passages are available ; f) Install lighting equipment that meets the standard requirements according to the operational needs.

“6S management is very helpful for managing the production site; take some time to look into it.
