⚠️ ! When working on elevators, escalators, or other types of conveyance equipment, the rules are clear: safety is non-negotiable. From wearing PPE correctly to ensuring rigorous lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, and being up-to-date with the latest safety resources and programs, every step is crucial.
👓 Don't underestimate the importance of guarding your eyes and face from potential hazards like debris or welding sparks - eye and face protection is essential. In the building trades, thousands are injured each year as a result of inadequate protection — and many of these accidents could have been prevented.
🔒 Whether electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical hazards are in play, the right LOTO procedures can be life-saving. In 2021, the lack of control of hazardous energy ranked seventh in OSHA’s list of most frequently violated standards. 📖 Always ensure you're up-to-date with the latest safety resources and training programs.
