If you have to open the machine for maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting, remember that some parts may be hot. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for troubleshooting.

Some items can be very dangerous when worn around machinery with moving parts.
The easiest way to avoid slips, trips, and falls is to pay attention to your surroundings and to avoid running or rushing. Arrange office furnishings in a manner that provides unobstructed areas for movement. Keep stairs, steps, flooring, and carpeting well maintained. Ensure that glass doors have some type of marking to keep people from walking through, or into, them. Clearly mark any difference in floor level that could cause an accident.
