Safety Orientation

What is our team safety philosophy?

• End your day in the same condition or better condition than you started.

• Know how to be safe through proper training.

• Keep your team mates safe.

• Fooling around, practical jokes, running, or pushing are all safety violations.

• Do not use any tool until you have been trained on the operation of the tool.

• Tools must be used for the purposes in which they are intended. Uses other than the intended purpose are a safety violation.

• A clean workspace is a safe workspace.• Be aware of your surroundings.• Take your time, rushed or impulsive work is

unsafe to you and others.
