ventilated and well lit. Cluttered work areas
invite accidents.
3. Use personal protective equipment. Wear ANSI
approved safety goggles. Protective equipment
such as dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, heavy duty work gloves or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will

pacemaker failure. In addition, people with
pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
