Template: your personal day-1 checklist for work environment
What you review before you start at the machines
The first day of production is a lot to handle. Use this template to get the most important things first — the things that matter for your safety and your body. By all means ask; no one expects you to know everything on day one.
§Safety
- 01Where is the emergency stop and emergency exits?
- 02How are the machines operated safely, and where are the guards?
- 03What tools are sharp, and how are they handled?
- 04Who do I ask if something seems wrong or dangerous?
§Hygiene
- 01What are the rules for clothing and hand washing?
- 02Where is the boundary between clean and unclean zones?
- 03How is the work documented and quality controlled?
§Ergonomics
- 01Can my workplace be adjusted so I stand properly?
- 02What aids are available for heavy or repetitive tasks?
- 03How do you vary your working positions throughout the day?
