Safety should be at the utmost importance within any workplace, but more so, within an environment with electrics and machinery. It is the manager’s responsibility to maintain safety within the work place, but this can only happen with the right knowledge and training and good team work.

All members of the team should be trained for basic health and safety, further training should then occur for the use of particular machinery and electrical devices. Colleagues should work together to minimise any risk of injury or accidents, following workplace rules set in place.

Each electrical item and machine should be tested for safety of use, and any faults be reported and dealt with. Faulty equipment should never be used until fully repaired and deemed safe for further use.

Your workplace should be a safe environment, for yourself and others around you. Make sure all of your training is current and up to date, and follow all instructions and rules within the commercial setting.
