Tools and Machinery Putting Safety First : Do's and Don'ts

Do….👍

1. Use machinery only if you’re-authorized, trained, and alert.
2. Obey all operating instructions.
3. Always use the appropriate tool for the respective task.
4. Clean your tools and keep them in good working order.
5. Always ensure that the operator of a machine sees you;never approach from behind or from a blind side.
6. If something is wrong, stop the machine immediately and get assistance.
7. 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.
8. Turn off machines and equipment before you even consider cleaning, un-jamming, oiling, adjusting, or moving them.
9. Organize your tools and don’t be careless; someone could easily slip or get hit due to a misplaced object.

Don’t…👎

1. 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.
2. Never leave machinery running unattended.
3. Never remove safety guards that are in place to protect you and the surrounding area.
4. Never walk in front of a forklift, tractor, or any other heavy machine.
5. Always read labels and instructions alerting you to potential dangers and hazards.
6. Unless it’s your job, never tamper with electric controls, cords, switches, or other such hazardous items.
7. Never insert fingers or any other objects that don’t belong into moving machinery.
