 Guard Material:
 Under Many Circumstances, Metal Is the Best Material for
Guards. Guard Framework Is Usually Made From
Structural Shapes, Pipe, Bar, or Rod Stock. Filler Material
Generally Is Expanded or Perforated or Solid Sheet Metal
or Wire Mesh. It May Be Feasible to Use Plastic or Safety
Glass Where Visibility Is Required.

 Guards Made of Wood Generally Are Not Recommended


Because of Their Flammability and Lack of Durability and
Strength. However, in Areas Where Corrosive Materials Are
Present, Wooden Guards May Be the Better Choice.

TIPS FOR USING CONTRACTORS

 REMEMBER, YOU CONTROL YOUR FACILITY OR AREA!

 REVIEW THEIR PROCEDURES WITH THEM BEFORE


STARTING THE JOB!

 DETERMINE THEIR SAFETY PERFORMANCE RECORD!

 DETERMINE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THEIR PEOPLE!

 DETERMINE HOW THEY WILL AFFECT YOUR EMPLOYEES!

WORK AT WORKING SAFELY

Training is the key to success in managing safety in the


work environment. Attitude is also a key factor in
maintaining a safe workplace. Safety is, and always will
be a team effort, safety starts with each individual
employee and concludes with everyone leaving at the
end of the day to rejoin their families.
