Clear the Clutter: Protect Your Safety & Wellbeing

A clean space is a safe space — physically and mentally.

Clutter isn’t just inconvenient — it’s dangerous. Blocked hallways, overflowing laundry bins, and scattered maintenance tools can lead to trips, falls, and injuries. But the impact goes deeper than physical safety — clutter can also threaten your psychological safety.

When workspaces are chaotic, it can feel like safety isn’t a priority. That can lead to stress, anxiety, and a sense that your wellbeing isn’t valued — all of which affect morale and teamwork.

According to the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, a safe environment includes:

• Mental clarity and calm — not constant stress from unsafe conditions.
• Open communication — where you feel safe to speak up about hazards.
• Respect and care — shown through clean, organized, and safe spaces.

Let’s work together to keep our spaces clear and safe:

• Remove clutter as you go.
• Report hazards or blocked areas.
• Support each other in maintaining a tidy, respectful workplace.
