Are items allowed on top of the lockers?

• A. Yes
• B. Only small items allowed
• C. Yes, with supervisor approval
• D. No

Answer: (D)

Safety and proper storage around locker areas require keeping the tops of lockers clear. Placing items on top creates a falling hazard because doors, bumps, or vibrations can knock things off onto feet or into walkways. It also clutters corridors, makes cleaning and inspection harder, and can interfere with ventilation or access in an emergency. Since locker tops aren’t designed as storage surfaces and may not bear weight reliably, the standard rule is to keep them empty. If you need to store belongings, use the inside of the locker or other approved storage spaces.
