Daily clearing of scrap lumber and associated debris from passageways and stairwells is indeed an important practice for maintaining good housekeeping; however, it is not explicitly mandated by OSHA as a standalone standard. OSHA does emphasize general housekeeping practices, which include keeping work areas clean and free of hazardous materials, but the specific guidelines for frequency (like daily requirements) regarding debris management in passageways and stairwells are more best practices than formal mandates.

The focus of OSHA regulations is to ensure that workplaces are safe and healthful, which encompasses various elements of good housekeeping, such as maintaining clear walkways to avoid slip hazards, ensuring materials are stored safely to prevent accidents, and keeping rest and break areas clean. Each of these practices helps in reducing workplace injuries and creating a more organized environment, but the daily requirement regarding debris clearance is not explicitly outlined as an OSHA standard, making this the correct answer in the context of identifying non-mandated standards.
