The term IMPORTANT emphasizes areas where equipment
damage could result, or provides additional information to make a
step or procedure easier to understand. Disregarding information
marked IMPORTANT would not be likely to cause personal
injury.
REPORTING A SAFETY DEFECT
NOTE: If you believe that your equipment has a defect which could
cause injury, you should immediately discontinue its use and
inform the manufacturer at our address listed in this manual.
The principle factors which can result in injury are:
• Failure to follow proper operating and clean-out
procedures, i.e. lockout/tagout.
• Failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment.
2-5 General Responsibility
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE…
Safety is important. Owners, operators, and maintenance
personnel must realize that every day, safety is a vital aspect of
their jobs.
If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember this:
Production is always affected in a negative way following an
accident. The following are some of the reasons, which can affect
your production:
• Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)
• Breakdown of shop morale
• Costly damage to equipment
• Down-time
An effective safety program is responsible and economically
sound.
Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings.
Promote this group from the management level. Through this
group, the safety program can be continually reviewed,
maintained, and improved. Keep minutes or a record of the
meetings.
