Know Safety!!!

Do You “Know” Safety?

A carpenter knows how to install a floor, an ironwork knows how to erect steel, a finisher knows how to hand-trowel a floor surface, and works in other trades know how to apply their skills, but how many of them “KNOW” safety?

A list of guidelines to help you learn safety:

• KNOW YOUR JOB. Know what your job involves and exactly how it should be done safely.
