2.3 General Safety Information
The personal safety and health of operators are of primary importance to ICON Aircraft. Maintenance
personnel should comply with regulatory standards and best practices for occupational safety.
It is important to take adequate precautions regarding the use of any hazardous chemicals specified
in your work area. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemicals specified in this manual are avail-
able online.
Maintenance personnel are responsible for keeping themselves informed of workplace hazards,
participating in training, following all applicable safety policies and procedures, and promptly reporting
hazards and accidents to their supervisor.
Maintenance personnel should pay particular attention to the ergonomic set up of work stations,
desks, computers and other daily use equipment. If you spend long periods of time using a computer,
other office equipment, or perform any type of repetitive motion during the course of your work, be
sure to change your position at least once every half hour to avoid eye strain, back and neck strain, and
repetitive injuries such as carpal tunnel.
Remember to always use proper lifting techniques which may include: using leg muscles rather than
back muscles, team lifts and inspect items to be moved for protruding nails, slivers, sharp edges, etc.,
before handling.
