With any piece of industrial equipment, conditions exist that might cause injury to you or your
co-workers. Because it is not possible to describe each potentially hazardous situation that
might develop, you must be alert at all times for unsafe conditions. To avoid injury, use
maximum possible care and common sense and adhere to all safety standards.
Take special care while maintaining and inspecting electrical equipment and devices. All
personnel working on or around the system should be aware of, and adhere to, all CAUTION,
DANGER, and WARNING signs.
Labels or signs are posted to reduce the risk of injury to all personnel. Never assume that the
signs and notices are applicable only to inexperienced personnel. Maintain signs in a legible
condition. Contact your supervisor to post additional safety signs if you feel they are
necessary. http://www.ansi.org/
