Many occupational injuries occur due to unsafe work practices or flawed procedures.
Personnel injuries are rare in locations where equipment is maintained in good operating condition and operated correctly. Workers must be adequately trained, and all personnel must comply with safety rules and display a committed attitude toward safety. The shop rules listed below are intended to provide a safe environment in which to work. However, if a situation does not appear to be safe, the supervisor must be notified prior to conducting the work. A fundamental responsibility of a supervisor is to develop and establish the procedures to be used, and to enforce the use of those procedures.
