9. A Healthy Shop Is a Safe Shop
The shop should be pleasant place where you will enjoy
your work. Large manufacturing companies have learned
that the shop accidents are greatly reduced when the shop
itself is well lighted and well-ventilated. The introduction of
ventilating and blower systems, which free the air of dust
and particles of dirt, have gone a long way toward reducing
accidents. Good lighting, both natural and artificial, likewise
safeguards the worker. The healthy shop is a safe shop.
After all, the protection of health is the first rule of “Safety
First in the Shop”.

skin cancer, fire protection, information
on dust, fumes and air quality; and
recognition of poorly ventilated areas
and confined spaces.
