ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH
YOUR HELP!
The best safety device is a careful operator. HLA and your
dealer ask that
YOU be that careful, responsible equipment
operator.
Pay attention to the job at hand. Do not let your mind lose
concentration on what you are doing. No accident
prevention program can be successful without the
wholehearted cooperation of the person who is directly
responsible for the operation of the equipment.
If accidents are to be prevented (
and accidents can be
prevented ), that prevention will come from equipment
operators who accept their complete responsibility and
anticipate the results of their actions.
The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer all
help create a safe product, but their combined efforts can
be wiped out with a single careless act by the operator of
that product.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
