By doing things right, you and your co-workers will commit yourselves to safety on the job and everyone will benefit. Accidents occur in many ways but most often can be traced back to one of two basic factors: ignorance or carelessness. You must always be concerned with your own safety and with the safety of others around you.
The following is a general list of safety precautions you must observe in any work area:
Don’t fool around. “Horseplay” is one of the biggest causes of injuries on the job and it may be grounds for dismissal.
Never work while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as you are a hazard to yourself and your co-workers.
Pay particular attention to moving objects, such as equipment, dollies, mixers, and slicers.
Walk, do not run, in the work areas.
Stay completely alert on the job.
Avoid back strain by lifting properly.
