3.3.1 The importance of safety
The importance of safety at work place can't be over exemplified. It is mostly felt at
places where the operators and engineers are exposed to sustained risk in their
daily operations. Adaptation of safety measures not only ensures safety of the life
of the operators and engineers but also of their family dependents.
It is important that your organization adopt some basic safety measures so as to
ensure overall safety of the workplace. First and foremost all operations should be
executed under supervision of a supervisor. He or she is responsible for discharge
of all safety measures. All the safety provisions must be brought to the attention of
everyone employed at the location where the vehicle lift is operated or maintained.
A list of all adopted safety measures should be displayed at a prominent place so
