Safety Tips
Safety's Top 10 Actions to Accident Prevention
- Know your job. If you are not sure of exactly how to carry out an assigned operation, ask your supervisor before you begin.
- Use tools properly. Select the right ones- the ones designed for the job. Be sure they are in good condition.
- Practice good housekeeping. Keep your work area clean and orderly. Clean up spills promptly. Dispose of scrap properly.
- Develop good lifting habits. Remember: lift with your legs, not your back, and get help for loads you can't easily handle alone.
- Avoid falls by watching where you are going.
- Dress safely for work. Remove jewelry when performing tasks where it creates a hazard. Wear closed-toed or steel-toed shoes/boots when in hangar/shop areas as required depending on the job. Wear short sleeves or keep long sleeves buttoned at the wrist.
- Use required personal protective equipment. Wear safety glasses, goggles, face shield, aprons, earplugs, gloves and respirators or whatever specialized equipment the job calls for to prevent injuries.
- Be alert around machinery.
- Report all accidents and near-miss incidents.
- Avoid horseplay and practical joking.
