Manufacturing companies are generally more at risk than some other types of companies for workplace injuries. This is why most manufacturing companies enforce very strict workplace safety rules for their employees. Some of these safety rules include wearing protective gear, careful operation of equipment and maintaining an organized workspace.

Protective Gear

Many manufacturing jobs involve the use of heavy, sharp equipment requiring employees to take precautions to protect themselves. Employees must wear closed-toe, steel-reinforced shoes, protective eyeglasses, and ear plugs. Employees who handle sharp objects or heated equipment may also be required to wear gloves or fireproof clothing. These rules are intended not only to keep employees safe, but also to draw attention to safety.

Careful Operation of Equipment

Workers in manufacturing generally, as a safety rule, use a buddy system to work with dangerous equipment. This allows workers to monitor each other while handling dangerous materials or equipment. Workers must report any work-related injuries to avoid further injury and to receive prompt treatment.

Organization of Workspace

Organization and maintenance of workspace is a safety rule that requires employees to maintain a clean, neat workspace. Clear walkways and carefully maintained equipment can help to lessen safety risks. Often a supervisor will continuously monitor employee work spaces throughout the day to make sure all employee safety requirements are being met at all times.
