It looks like OSHA is targeting manufacturing operations. Here are some manufacturing safety tips from Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (Australia) to help keep you accident-free:
– Keep work areas clear and tidy.
– Keep air hoses and power cords away from thoroughfares or taped down.
– Stack or remove buckets and pallets when not in use.
– Clean up excess product, waste materials and material spills from walkways.
– Remove excess filings, shavings, materials and off-cuts from walkways and work areas.
