KEY POINTS COVERED

Safety Mindset Begin every task with a clear, focused mind. Avoid working while frustrated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
Accident Prevention Regularly inspect your work area for hazards and eliminate potential risks. Keep walkways clear, secure loose materials, and practice good housekeeping to maintain a safe worksite.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Foot Protection Wear safety shoes with appropriate soles and steel toes for protection.
Hand Protection Use gloves suited for the specific task to protect against sharp objects and chemicals.
Eye and Ear Protection Wear safety glasses, goggles, or face shields as needed. Use earplugs or earmuffs in noisy areas.
Respiratory Protection Use appropriate respirators when exposed to hazardous fumes or dust. Ensure a proper fit test for maximum protection.
Proper Use of Tools and Equipment Use the right tool for the job, inspect tools before use, and follow safe handling practices. Be cautious with electrical equipment; avoid overloading circuits and use lockout/tagout procedures when necessary.
Safe Lifting and Ergonomics Use proper lifting techniques—bend your knees, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs. Adjust workstations and tools to minimize strain and prevent ergonomic injuries.
Emergency Preparedness Familiarize yourself with the emergency action plan, know evacuation routes, and locate safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and first aid kits. Report chemical spills immediately and use the appropriate cleanup methods.
Teamwork and Communication Safety is a shared responsibility. Communicate hazards with your team, ask questions if unsure, and follow established safety procedures at all times.

By maintaining a safety-first attitude and following these guidelines, you can help create a secure work environment and reduce the risk of accidents.
