In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.
