Re: Safety help?
Since we work on a DuPont site we have to follow their safety rules, which I guarantee are stricter than almost anyone else's. Prevention is the key. Beside all the rules and suggestions that have already been mentioned, we wear gloves and steel toed shoes in some instances. Don't forget also that loose jewelry, hair, and clothing should be secured around poser tools. Most important, treat all power equipment with respect. Think about what you will be doing before you start. Don't have any distractions and use the proper safety aides when needed.
When lifting, make sure you are not lifting too much weight and get help if needed. When you need to reach something stand on a proper stool or ladder - never on a chair. Don't store heavy items where they could fall on someone. Make sure filing cabinets and shelves are properly weighted or bolted.
In DuPont they have a saying "Take Two" It means to take 2 seconds, 2 minutes, whatever it takes to think about what you will be doing and get the proper equipment before you start.
