HAZARD TYPES - Below are the main categories of hazards that might harm me:

• PPE: Usually safety glasses only are required unless the employee will be doing more than just passing through (i.e. they must leave marked walkways and enter a steel toe shoe required area or an area where hearing protection is required and they will be in that area for more than just a few minutes.)
  
  Slips / Trips / Falls
  
  Forklifts / Parts Scooter: Watch for traffic and make sure to make eye contact with the driver to ensure they see you.
  
  Cranes: Watch for cranes being used in the area and communicate with the crane operators if you will need to enter the area or path of the crane before doing so.
  
  Vendor/Employee Traffic: Watch for vendors, visitors and other employees moving in and around the area.
  
  Welding, Cutting, Grinding and Brazing: Avoid areas where these operations are taking place or make arrangements with the area supervisor or leadman if you need to pass through an area where these processes are actively underway.
  
  Shards: Shard producing work process will be indicated by a cone or sign to help employees stay out of those areas.
  
  Harmful Chemicals or Substances (HAZCOM): Watch out for chemicals being used and use our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to review precautions if you come into direct contact with chemicals you are unfamiliar with to ensure your safety.
