Think Ahead
Take time to look for and identify hazards. All day, no matter what you're doing, think about:
What you're working with
What you'll be doing
Where you'll be walking
What could go wrong
Stay Alert
Train yourself to:
Give your work your full attention.
Avoid becoming complacent or taking shortcuts, no matter how many times you've done a job or how many years experience you have.
Inspect your work area, materials, and equipment for safety each day before you begin working.
Be constantly aware of possible hazards.
Be prepared to avoid trouble at any time.
Ask Questions
Check things out with your supervisor when:
You're dealing with a new substance or procedure.
Something seems wrong, but you're not sure what.
Take Action
Take responsibility for your safety:
Use the proper PPE.
Follow all safety rules.
Keep your work area neat and safe.
Fix any problem you're trained to handle.
Report hazards you can't correct yourself to your supervisor.
