1. Be Aware of Your Surroundings- Be present at work and pay
attention to not only the work in front of you, but also others working around
you for potentially dangerous situations. For example, if a large machine is
moving around in your vicinity, maybe don’t stand in front of it.
2. Keep Correct Posture to Protect Your Back- Don’t try to
look like a big shot in front of all your work friends by lifting things
heavier than you can handle in an improper way. Once you’re sure you can safely
lift an item, bend at the knees and lift with your legs. Don’t bend at the waist
and use your back to lift, which may get the job done for now but has painful
repercussions in the long run.
3. Take Regular Breaks- Use that government mandated time to
the fullest! Keep up your best work effort and avoid exhaustion by resting when
you need to.
4. Use Tools and Machines Properly- Make sure to read all
instruction manuals for tools and only operate machinery that you are qualified
to do so for only the task for which they are meant. Failure to comply with
this tip could lead to serious injury or death.
5. Wear the Correct Safety Equipment- Some think protective
eyewear may look uncool while on the job, but an eye patch looks even more
uncool in every situation. Luckily, Industrial Instruments and Supplies offers
plenty of safety goggles and many other items to perform the specific use of
keeping you and all your body parts intact.
6. Use Mechanical Aids Whenever Possible- Why do all the work
yourself when there’s equipment available to help? Save your energy by
employing the use of forklifts, cranes, conveyor belts, and/or wheelbarrows
when necessary and you won’t need to worry about hurting your back, either.
