YES, LET’S TEACH HER ABOUT OUR SPECIAL ABILITIES
TEACH HER TO USE HER SLOW BRAIN
!!!

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
REMOTE WORKER, YOU MUST USE YOUR SLOW BRAIN
TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL CAUGHT-IN OR BETWEEN HAZARDS EARLY. A FEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IDENTIFIERS ARE:
OBJECTS WITH MOVEMENT POTENTIAL
SECURE ANY OBJECTS THAT CAN ROLL OR MOVE, SUCH AS MACHINES, CYLINDERS, DOORS OR VEHICLES.
BE AWARE OF PINCH POINTS, WHICH ARE A COMMON HAZARD WITHIN THIS CATEGORY. KEEP YOUR BODY, ESPECIALLY YOUR FINGERS, HANDS AND FEET, CLEAR OF PINCH POINTS ON EVERYTHING FROM MACHINES TO
DOOR HINGES.
EQUIPMENT
ALWAYS TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN NEAR OR WORKING WITH EQUIPMENT, LIKE DESKS, CRANES, AND MACHINERY. MAKE SURE TO ELIMINATE ANY LINE OF FIRE HAZARDS FIRST.
IF YOU CANNOT ELIMINATE ALL OF THEM, CREATE MITIGATION CONTROLS, LIKE PHYSICAL BARRIERS OR GUARDS AROUND MOVING PARTS.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT, ALWAYS PROTECT THOSE AROUND YOU. WHEN AROUND MACHINERY IN USE, MAKE SURE THE OPERATOR CAN ALWAYS SEE YOU.
