FOREWORD
Put Safety First!
This Safety Section contains important information to help you work safely with your machine and describes the dangers
inherent in our machines. Some of these dangers are obvious, while others are less evident.
It really is important to PUT SAFETY FIRST. Make it a habit to consider the hazards associated with any action BEFORE
you do it. If you feel any uncertainty, stop and nd a safer approach to the action. If you’re still uncertain, ask for advice
from your supervisor.
The SAFETY FIRST approach is particularly necessary when you do something new, or different, and most people in-
stinctively recognize this, although impatience may still cause them to take unnecessary risks.
Danger also lurks in the routine task that we have done over and over. Here, familiarity, boredom, or tiredness may lull us
into unthinking, automatic repetition. Be alert for this, and when you feel it happening, stop and take stock of your situa-
tion. Review the safety hazards associated with what you are doing. That should get your brain working again.
Certainly production is important, but if you think you’re too busy to put safety rst, think how much production you’ll lose if
you get hurt.
You owe it to yourself, your family, and your co-workers to PUT SAFETY FIRST.
