GENERAL
Practically all service work involves the need to drive a

tractoror implement, contains detailed safety precautions
relating to driving, operating and servicing. These
precautions are as applicable to the service mechanic as
they are to the operator, and should be read, understood
and practiced by all personnel.
Prior to undertaking any maintenance, repair, overhaul,
dismantling or re-assembly operations, whether within a
workshop facility or out in the field, consideration should
be given to factors that may have an effect upon Safety,
not only upon the mechanic carrying out the work, but
also upon bystanders.
DO NOT allow children or bystanders around or
on the machine while it is being adjusted, serviced,
repaired or operated.
PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Clothing
The wrong clothes or carelessness in dress can
result in entanglement in moving parts. Check to
see that you are suitably clothed. DO NOT wear
loose clothing or long hair around equipment.
Some jobs require special protective equipment.

Injury can be avoided by wearing the proper eye
protection when engaged in chiselling, grinding,
sanding, welding, painting etc.

to the job in hand.
Breathing Protection
Fumes,dust and paint spray are unpleasant
and harmful. These can be avoided by wearing
respiratory protection.
Hearing Protection
Loud noise may damage your hearing.
Longer the exposure greater the damage.
Wear ear protection.
Hand Protection
It is advisable to use a protective barrier
cream before work to prevent irritation and
skin contamination. After work clean your
hands in soap and water. Solvents such as
white spirit, paraffin, etc., may harm the skin.
Wear gloves when ever possible to protect
your hands. DO NOT wear rings or wrist
watches when working on machinery, as
they could catch on moving parts and cause
serious injury.

Substantial or protective footwear with
reinforced toe-caps (safety shoes) will
protect your feet from falling objects.

flame or acid-resistant clothing.
EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Machine Guards
Before using any machine, check to ensure
that the machine guards are in position and
serviceable. These guards not only prevent
parts of the body or clothing coming in
contact with the moving parts of the machine,
but also ward off objects that might fly off the
machine and cause injury. Ensure that
missing guards are replaced.
