TO SWEEP
Plan the sweeping in advance. Try to arrange long
runs with minimum stopping and starting. Sweep
debris from very narrow aisles into main aisles

Pick up oversize debris before sweeping. Flatten
or remove bulky cartons from aisles before
sweeping. Pick up pieces of wire, twine, string,
etc., which could become entangled in brush or
brush plugs. Overlap brush paths.
Sweep as straight a path as possible. Avoid
bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the
