Stephanie:
Hey Austin, how areyou?
Austin:
I am doing so well. I’m so glad Icaught you right in the middle of doing what we want to talk to our bug group teammates about. Bug group team, we have dropped in on Stephanie here, our subject matter expert to tell you alittle bit about high dusting, which is something you guys are doing every single day. We want to talk with Stephanie about how to make sure we’re doing it safely. Stephanie, before you get set up, and you get going high dusting, what are some of the things that you need to make sure you’re wearing, the PPE that you need to haveon?
Stephanie:
I need to make sure I’m wearing my gloves and mygoggles.
Austin:
That’s exactly right. The goggles are extremely important. We see this alot at the bug group. Sometimes people forget to wear their goggles and they get to high dusting and they knock something off that ends up getting in their eyes and that’s not something that we want. Goggles are super important. Glad to see that you have thoseon.
Stephanie:
Thank you.
Austin:
Also see that you got some fancy equipment here. This is another really important piece for us to have when we’re doing this type of work. We have different variations of this, but basically we want to have some type of duster that we can put on the end of an extension wand. The reason is this allows Stephanie to reach up high so that she doesn’t have to climb up on aladder, and that is so important. We don’t want to use aladder if we don’t have to. We’ve got our PPE, we’ve got our equipment. What are some of the places that we might be going to do this type ofdusting?
Stephanie:
Some of the places that we need to dust regularly are, ceiling vents, ceiling corners, door trim, and molding, the top of bathroom stalls and rails, and any other high places that might collectdust.
Austin:
Well Stephanie, thank you for taking the time to do this. We really appreciate it, you taking the time to show our folks how to make sure we’re high dusting safely, talking about some of the places we should be doing it, and how to do it safely. The last thing we want to make sure we mention is, if you need to dust somewhere that you cannot reach with an extension pole and need to use aladder, please make sure you let your manager know, and that you have been approved to use that ladder in that situation. We don’t want to be using ladders if we don’t have to. Thanks for your help and Ihope to see yousoon.
Stephanie:
Thank you.
