Personal Protective Equipment...
Tie back long hair, and do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Use appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) for protecting yourself from potential
hazards in the environment in which you will work. Each process outlined in this
manual may need different PPE to protect the service person. Use the proper
PPE for the task at hand.
Tools...
All tools should be in proper working order. Do not use tools that are broken or in
disrepair. Use the proper tool for the proper application.
Lifts, Hoists, and Jacks...
All lifts, hoists, and jacks should be used in accordance with the manufacturer
information. Inspect lifts, hoists, and jacks prior to use. Do not overload lifts,
hoists, and jacks. Do not work under a suspended load. Ensure chock blocks
are used on equipment that can move. Use lifts or jacks and jack stands that
are rated to support the total weight of the machine and any attachments. Do
not rely on jacks to support the machine. If you are unsure of the operation of
any lifts, hoists, and jacks do not use.
Fire Extinguishers...
The proper class of fire extinguisher should be used in case of fire.
Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper,
wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating on these types of
extinguishers indicates the amount of water it holds and the amount of fire it can
extinguish. Geometric symbol (green triangle).
Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline,
kerosene, grease and oil. The numerical rating for class B extinguishers
indicates the approximate number of square feet of fire it can extinguish.
Geometric symbol (red square).
Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit
breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of
electrical shock is far too great! Class C extinguishers do not have a numerical
rating. The C classification means the extinguishing agent is non-conductive.
Geometric symbol (blue circle).
ABC fire extinguishers are a dry chemical type used for multiple purposes. See
above information for description.
Ensure fire extinguishers are serviceable and replace any that are discharged or
out of inspection dates.
