The meaning of "housekeeping inspection" and "are clear of obstructions"
Hello.
The sentence reads as follows:
Housekeeping inspection to ensure that decks and walkways and scaffolding are clear of obstructions such as spilt liquids, scrap material, cables and hoses.
To my way of thinking, "housekeeping inspection" means "inspection in terms of cleanness and tidiness" while "are clear of obstructions" means the same as "are without obstructions" or "at some distance from obstructions".
Do you agree?
Thank you.
P.S.
The sentence comes from "Ship repair yard safe working conditions".
