🛡️ Naples Wallpaper – Employee Safety Guidelines

🎯 Purpose:

To protect our team and clients by maintaining a safe, clean, and responsible work environment both in the showroom and on job sites. Safety is everyone's responsibility.

✅ General Safety Guidelines (For All Staff)

• Report Hazards Immediately
  Notify management of any unsafe conditions, damaged equipment, spills, or other risks.

• Keep All Areas Clean and Clear
  Maintain a tidy workspace — clear walkways, secure sample books, and avoid clutter.

• Use Proper Lifting Techniques
  Bend at the knees, not your back. If something is too heavy, ask for help or use equipment.

• Wear Appropriate Clothing & Shoes
  Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required in warehouse or job site settings. No flip-flops or sandals.

• First Aid
  Know the location of first aid kits and fire extinguishers. Report all accidents, even small ones, to a supervisor immediately.

🔧 Installation & On-Site Safety

• Follow Ladder Safety Protocol
  Always ensure ladders are stable, on level ground, and never stand on the top step.

• Use Tools Responsibly
  Use only company-approved tools and equipment. Inspect before use. Report any defects.

• Protect Walls & Floors
  Use drop cloths and protective materials to prevent damage to client property.

• Secure Work Areas
  Keep tools and materials organized to prevent tripping or injury, especially in occupied homes.

• Electrical Awareness
  Never cut near outlets or wires without proper precautions. Shut off power if necessary.

🧽 Showroom & Front Desk Safety

• Maintain a Slip-Free Environment
  Clean spills immediately. Use “wet floor” signs when mopping.

• Keep Exit Paths Clear
  Ensure that emergency exits and fire extinguishers are accessible at all times.

• Cords & Displays
  Keep cords neatly out of walking paths and displays securely positioned.

📦 Handling Wallpaper & Inventory

• Wallpaper Boxes & Rolls
  Store rolls securely to avoid falling hazards. Use carts or assistance when moving larger items.

• Chemical Safety
  If using adhesives or cleaners, follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions. Wear gloves when needed and ensure proper ventilation.

🧯 Emergency Response

• Know Your Exits
  Be familiar with all emergency exits and evacuation routes in the building.

• Fire Safety
  In the event of fire: Alert others, evacuate, and call 911. Use extinguishers only if trained.

• Severe Weather
  Follow manager instructions during storms or other natural events. Prioritize safety and communication.

🚫 What Not to Do

• Do not operate machinery or tools without training

• Do not engage in horseplay, running, or unsafe behavior

• Do not ignore warning signs or safety notices

📋 Final Reminder:

Safety is everyone's job.
If something doesn’t feel safe, speak up. Our company is committed to protecting our team and ensuring every job — showroom or field — is done responsibly and carefully.
