priate to the job.

A hard hat
Safety shoes
Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield
Heavy gloves
Hearing protection
Reflective clothing

PROTECT AGAINST NOISE

or loss of hearing.
• Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable
or uncomfortably loud noises.

Inspect your machine carefully each day or shift by walk-
ing around it before you start it to avoid personal injury.
