REMINDERS
Construction work requires that you to be aware
of your surroundings at all times.
Equipment should be checked before you try to
use it.
If the equipment or tools are defective, report itto your supervisor and remove it from service
Most of the people in these case studiesthought that it couldn't happen to them!
Think Safety all the time
