Safety Precautions
1. SERVICE AREA
Sufficient
Ventilation
Inhalation of exhaust fumes and dust particles may be hazardous to ones
health. Running engines welding, sanding, painting, and polishing tasks
should be only done in well-ventilated areas.
Safe / Adequate Work Area
The service area should be clean, spacious, level and free from holes in
the floor, to prevent “slip” or “trip and fall” type accidents.

The work area should be well lit or illuminated in a safe manner. For work
in enclosed or dark areas, a “drop cord” should be utilized. The drop cord
must have a wire cage to prevent bulb breakage and possible ignition of
flammable substances.

Equipment
Fire extinguisher(s), first aid kit and eye wash / shower station should be
close at hand (or easily accessible) in case of an emergency.
