Conducting Brake Repair Operations
Abstract
In 1985, work injuries in the United States cost $37.3 billion. According to the National Health Interview Survey, over 13 percent of all accidents occurred in industrial places. Injuries, death, and disability are the results of accidents. Costs combined with worker pain, disability, and loss of life emphasize the importance of accident prevention on all levels of industrial maintenance operations. Proper training, use of technical manuals, compliance with safety and OSHA requirements, teamwork, and individual awareness are necessary to minimize unnecessary disabling injuries or death. Good judgment and proper supervision are instrumental in accident prevention. Incidents of burns, loss of vision and hearing, and death can be avoided by controlling hazardous conditions, educating workers, and following established guidelines.
