Answer:
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
- Your safety is your personal responsibility.
- Always follow the correct procedures.
- Never take shortcuts.
- Take responsibility and clean up if you made a mess.
- Clean and organize your workspace.
- Ensure a clear and easy route to emergency exits and equipment.
- Be alert and awake on the job.
- Be attentive at all times to your work surroundings.
- When in doubt, contact your supervisor or manager for instruction, guidance, or training.
- Never take risks when it comes to safety.
- Obey safety signs, stickers, and tags.
- Take short breaks when you keep up a repetitive motion for a long period of time, and sit, stand, or walk with good posture.
- Report serious injuries immediately to a supervisor and get emergency assistance.
- Keep things in perspective. Hazards may be limitless, so focus on the most likely risks first.
- Strained backs and sliced fingers may be more popular in your workspace than would the risk of flooding (as in a basement office) or the risk of wild animals cutting loose (as in a zoo).
SAFETY IS A TEAM EFFORT
- Educate everyone in the workplace about the safety requirements and consider posting a list of workplace safety tips. A workplace safety training will help them reduce or eliminate injuries and illnesses from occurring in the workplace.
- Always keep the communication lines open with your co-workers, employers, or employees in order to promote and maintain a safe environment.
- Immediately notify others of any (new or old) hazards that you perceive.
- Be alert to hazards that could affect anyone— not just yourself; in this respect, maintain a team mentality at all times.
- Report a hazardous condition immediately to your manager or supervisor.
- Be conscious as to what others are doing around you, and do your best to ensure you don’t pose a hazard to them (and vice versa).
- If you’re an employer, invite and involve your employees in safety planning; obtain their insight, give and take suggestions, and ensure that everyone is on the same page.
TOOLS AND MACHINERY
- Use machinery only if you’re authorized, trained, and alert.
- Always use the appropriate tool for the respective task.
- Clean your tools and keep them in good working order.
- Organize your tools and don’t be careless; someone could easily slip or get hit due to a misplaced object.
- Always ensure that the operator of a machine sees you; never approach from behind or from a blind side.
- Do not perform a task unless you’ve been trained and you are aware of the hazards as well as how to mitigate/eliminate them.
- Never leave machinery running unattended.
- Never remove safety guards that are in place to protect you and the surrounding area.
- Obey all operating instructions.
- If something is wrong, stop the machine immediately and get assistance.
- Communicate your location and process to those around you, so they’ll know where you are, what you’re doing, and when they need to be getting out of the way.
- Never walk in front of a forklift, tractor, or any other heavy machine; the operator may not have seen you—and, even if he has, there’s always room for error, so make sure that error isn’t you being trampled.
- Always read labels and instructions alerting you to potential dangers and hazards.
- Unless it’s your job, never tamper with electric controls, cords, switches, or other such hazardous items.
- Dress properly and compactly: billowing, loose, or hanging clothes and accessories (ties, earrings, bracelets, loose sleeves, etc.) may easily get caught up in moving parts.
- At best, the offending objects may be destroyed; at worst, they could ruin the machine or severely hurt you.
- Never insert fingers or any other objects that don’t belong into moving machinery.
- Turn off machines and equipment before you even consider cleaning, un-jamming, oiling, adjusting, or moving them.
