Beware rotating hazards. Bind up long hair, loose clothing, etc. 2. Wear gloves. If you are moving equipment or messing in the guts of something. 3. Wear shoes that provide at least some toe protection. No sandals in machine rooms and labs, please. Wear safety shoes around heavy equipment. 4. Beware of electrically hot items. No liquids around terminals, for example. 5. No smoking in or around buildings with chemical labs. That fume hood may be discharging ether vapour. John Winterton.
