Work safety
- Wear protective eye wear if your job carries any risk of eye injury.
- If your work environment is so noisy that you have to shout to be heard, then wear earmuffs or ear plugs.
- Be cautious when handling hazardous materials (such as asbestos) and wear appropriate masks and other protection if working in an environment where dangerous chemicals are used. Avoid any exposure to hazardous chemicals if you are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant.
- Avoid any use of illegal drugs or alcohol while on the job, particularly when operating heavy machinery.
- Sleep disorders and health problems can result from frequent shift changes (like from night to day shifts) as well as from "jet lag" due to long-distance travel. Try to minimize frequent shift changes and excessive travel if possible.
