General safety tips

The most important safety tip: Follow the directions and instructions of your supervisor. Other safety tips include:

  • Use the personal protective equipment, tools and materials provided in the appropriate manner. Actief Werkt! can often provide work clothes and/or shoes.
  • In the first place, follow the instructions that apply to the work project and that you have been told by your supervisor. By observing safety rules and procedures, accidents can in many cases be prevented. In everything you do, consider the hazards associated with the work. Then take the necessary measures to protect yourself and your colleagues. Working safely means: think first, then act. Report near-accidents and unsafe situations immediately to your manager and to your contact person at the employment agency.  
  • A workshop is not a playground. Work simply demands your constant attention. Often inattention leads to accidents. Therefore, let yourself be explained to the safety and health measures.

  • Avoid contact with chemicals
  • Only eat, drink and smoke where it is allowed.   Many companies prohibit smoking and the use of open flames because of the fire hazard. Smoking is therefore only allowed in the designated places! The consumption of alcohol and the use of narcotics is prohibited at work. The use of medicines that affect your functioning is also prohibited. Violation of these rules may result in removal from work.
  • Keep your workplace tidy
