My simple change to daily clean-ups improved site safety

I always skipped cleaning up at the end of the day to save time. After a near miss with a loose board, I made it a rule to tidy the site each evening. Now, we start fresh each morning and have had no accidents for weeks. What do you guys do to stay consistent with clean-ups?

Yeah, and once you make it a HABIT, it becomes second nature for the whole crew.

Wait, how long does that habit building actually take though? Because saying "make it a habit" sounds quick but I've seen crews take months to really get something locked in. What's the trick to speeding that up without just annoying everyone?

Saw my buddy's crew finally get their cleanup checklist to stick. They made each person own one part and it clicked way faster.
