Say Yes to Safety!

No job is so urgent and no task so important that you cannot take time to do it safely.

From the Construction Employee Safety Handbook:

BASIC ON-SITE SAFETY RULES

• Hardhats must be worn at all times
• Steel toe boots must be worn at all times
• Eye protection is required if air borne debris is possible.
• Ear protection must be worn around machinery and tools with elevated noise levels
• A dust mask or respirator must be worn in dusty conditions
• Well fitting work clothes free of loose or hanging material is required
• Proper use of ladders and safety harnesses when working above ground level
• Keep work areas clean and safe. Clutter is a work site hazard
• Any material thought to be hazardous must be reported to a supervisor immediately. i.e. asbestos, chemicals, unfamiliar odor, gas clouds, etc.
• Safety is a team concept. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance. i.e. lifting, climbing, etc.
• Think Safety, Talk Safety, Act Safely
