Workplace Safety
Be sure to keep sparks, flames and
lighted tobacco away from flammable and
combustible materials like battery gases
and engine fuels. Always have an approved fire
extinguisher within easy reach.
Be sure that all tools and working areas
are properly maintained and ready for
use. Keep work surfaces clean and free
of debris that could get into machine components
and cause damage.
Be sure that your workshop or work area
is properly ventilated and well lit.
Be sure any forklift, overhead crane or
other lifting or supporting device is fully
capable of supporting and stabilizing the
weight to be lifted. Use only chains or straps that
are in good condition and of ample capacity.
Be sure that fasteners intended for one
time use (i.e., cotter pins and self-locking
nuts) are not reused. These components
may fail if they are used a second time.
Be sure to properly dispose of old oil or
other fluids. Use an approved container.
Please be environmentally safe.
