The following is a general list of safety precautions you must observe in any work area:
Don’t fool around. “Horseplay” is one of the biggest causes of injuries on the job and it
may be grounds for dismissal.
Never work while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as you are a hazard to
yourself and your co-workers.
Walk, do not run, in the work areas.
Stay completely alert on the job.
Avoid back strain by lifting properly.
Explain the importance that all the tools and measuring instrument should be kept in
good order and shape to avoid accidents and to ensure safety of life.
Why is the proper care of measuring tools so important? Some of the benefits include
the following.
Increase accuracy: If measuring tools don’t receive proper care and maintenance,
they’re more likely to take inaccurate readings. Some of these tools take exact
measurements, so even small changes can impact the accuracy of measurements.
Damaged instruments may also be off by relatively large amounts. If you don’t
realize your measurements are off, these inaccuracies could get in the way of the
success of a job. A wide variety of factors can impact the accuracy of a measuring
tool, from improper storage temperature to excessive vibrations to physical damage
due to dropping it. Because damage or improper maintenance can affect accuracy,
it’s crucial that you’re careful to maintain them properly. A measuring instrument
can also fall out of calibration naturally over time, so regular gage calibration is
essential.
Extend life: Caring for precision tools properly also helps extend their life. With
proper care, many measuring instruments can serve you well for a long time.
Without adequate maintenance, however, your tools will break sooner, and you’ll
have to replace them earlier. Improper care increases the risk of a tool failing in the
middle of a job or gradually becoming less effective, reducing the efficiency and
accuracy of your work.
Lower costs: Following the right care and maintenance procedures can help you
reduce your costs over the long term. It can help you avoid costly breakdowns,
more extensive repairs and downtime. It also means you’ll have to replace your
tools less often, meaning you get more out of your investments in quality
instruments.
3. Working more effectively and correctly is possible with the right tools.
When using tools, it's crucial to choose the best ones for the job. In
addition to increasing the difficulty of the task, using the incorrect
instruments might be dangerous. You can prevent workplace injuries
by using the appropriate equipment.
Discuss the importance that a careful attitude is necessary when
working on any tasks.
5. As a result of first aid education, there are fewer accidents and injuries
at work and people become more aware of workplace safety. Everyone
benefits when workplace risks are reduced and accidents are reduced,
but for employers, this has ramifications for many areas of corporate
operations.
