appropriate.

 Follow the dress code and avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair that
could get caught in machinery or tools.

 Maintain personal hygiene and wash your hands before and after handling
materials or equipment.

 Take responsibility for your personal safety and report any hazards,
accidents, or injuries to your supervisor or manager.

 Maintain a clean workspace and keep your tools and materials organized and
stored properly.

 Use the right tools for the job and do not improvise or use damaged or faulty
equipment.

  Follow the instructions and procedures for operating, maintaining, and
cleaning the machinery and tools.
 Do not work under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or fatigue.

 Be aware of your surroundings and watch out for moving parts, sharp
objects, hot surfaces, or electrical wires.

 Seek help or advice when in doubt or when facing a problem that you cannot
solve on your own.

REPORT ACCIDENT IN THE WORKSHOP

On November 22, 2008, Employee #1 was an equipment operator

at Ceradyne Inc., a manufacturer of advanced technical ceramic
products. A coworker had worked the day shift and set up a CNC
ID/OD Grinder, Type 1632 Gold, Serial No. 837, manufactured by
Weldon Machine Tools, in order to grind ceramic rings. The set up
entailed installing a 7 in. aluminum grinding wheel and
downloading a program from a laptop computer to the CNC
Grinder. Employee #1 worked the night shift and made
adjustments to the machine to grind ceramic parts. He changed
the wheel speed in the CNC program from 6,500 rpm to 13,000
rpm and turned on the machine. Other employees indicated that
they heard a loud and unusual sound for several seconds followed
by a loud popping sound. Employee #1 was injured when the
grinding wheel broke apart at the high rpm and pieces of it struck
him. He was hospitalized and died when he was taken off of life
support three days later.
