• Not implementing all necessary safeguards. Almost every work task has several safeguards that are to be
implemented prior to work beginning. Each safeguard that is implemented is one more way to protect yourself
and others from injury.
• Not wearing the necessary PPE. PPE is the last line of defense for workers. You never know when you may need
