SAFETY
There are two main hazard areas that service technicians may encounter on a
WORKING NEAR THE PUBLIC
KEEPING THE PUBLIC OUT:
The following techniques reduce the risk of injury to third parties (shoppers, store employees, etc.):
Cordon off all work areas with cones, cau- tion tape, warning signs and/or barricades.
Maintain a work area of at least five feet from the public.
Is a second person required to prevent the public from entering the work area when the work area cannot be adequately cordoned off?
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Can the public be exposed to any chemi- cals, refrigerants or fumes? If yes, can steps be taken to eliminate or reduce the risk of expo- sure? to guard against accidental release of refrigerants, make sure the work area is ade- quately cordoned off (instead of posting a WET FLOOR sign, use CAUTION tape to prevent the public from entering the area).
Are wet floors going to create a slip haz- ard for pedestrians? If yes, be sure to post WET FLOOR signs and establish a schedule for clean up as soon as the work is complete.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
Are all live electrical hazards protected from public access; i.e.,
Do light bulbs need to be replaced: If yes, will high work be conducted from a ladder or a scissor lift? Make sure the work area is cor- doned off as shown below.
