It is important to take adequate precautions regarding the use of any hazardous chemicals specified in your work area. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemicals specified in this manual are available online.
Maintenance personnel are responsible for keeping themselves informed of workplace hazards, participating in training, following all applicable safety policies and procedures, and promptly reporting hazards and accidents to their supervisor.
Maintenance personnel should pay particular attention to the ergonomic set up of work stations, desks, computers and other daily use equipment. If you spend long periods of time using a computer, other office equipment, or perform any type of repetitive motion during the course of your work, be sure to change your position at least once every half hour to avoid eye strain, back and neck strain, and repetitive injuries such as carpal tunnel.
