Wednesday: Safe Equipment

A sample reminder to keep equipment use within your authorization, training, and the procedures that apply to your work.

Use only what you are trained and authorized to use

Equipment requirements vary by task and location. Use equipment only when you are authorized and trained, and follow the applicable approved instructions for your role.

Do not attempt repairs, adjustments, or operation beyond your authorization. If equipment appears damaged or unsafe, stop and use your location’s approved reporting or escalation route.

Sample campaign prompt: Think about how a clear equipment handoff or a timely concern can help the next person make a safe decision.
