EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY 

Safety is everyone's responsibility! As am employee, you should: 

• Learn to work safely and take all rules seriously. 

• Recognize hazards and avoid them. 

• Report all accidents, injuries and illness to your supervisor immediately. 

• Inspect tools before use to avoid injury. 

• Wear all assigned personal protective equipment. 

On the other hand, it is management's responsibility to: 

• Provide a safe and healthy workplace. 

• Provide personal protective equipment. 

• Train employees in safe procedures and in how to identify hazards. 

Everyone must be aware of potential hazards on the job: 

• Poor housekeeping results in slips, trips and falls. 

• Electricity can cause shocks, burns or fire if not handled properly. 

• Poor material handling may cause back problems or other injuries. 

• Tools and equipment can cause injuries if guards or protective devices are disengaged. 

Always use the protections that are provided on the job: 

• Guards on machines and tools keep body parts from contacting moving equipment. 

•  Insulation on electrical equipment prevents burns, shock and fire. 

• Lockout/tagout assure equipment is de-energized before it is repaired. 

Personal protective equipment shields your body from hazards you may face on the job.
