Safe Work Practices

Safe Work Practices are a set of methods (Do's and Don'ts) on how to carry out a specific task or use equipment. They will inform you about the hazards that are present and provide direction on how to safeguard against the hazards. They are general methods only and do not define specific procedures (e.g. use of ladders, safe lifting). For specific procedures see the Safe Job Procedures section.
