If urgent medical care is needed for a workplace injury or illness – immediately dial 911 for emergency medical assistance.

Make sure all machine safe guards are in place at all times so that moving parts are not a danger to you and other workers nearby. If machine safety guards are removed due to maintenance ensure that Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols are closely followed.
