Safety Hints.

Don't use tools or appliances, nor touch machinery or belts until you have been fully instructed as to their proper use and care.
Don't walk through escaping steam; go round it.
Don't walk in front of wheels when rolling them unmounted; when pushing mounted wheels push at the centre of the axle and not on the rim.
Don't stand near a cable or chain when a heavy pull is being made.
Don't wear loose clothing near machinery in motion.
Don't use tools which are in bad order.
Don't walk out of doorways leading across tracks without looking in both directions for approaching ears or engines.
Don't stand in front of or watch chipping operations unless your eyes are protected.
Don't roll wheels and then leave them; see that they stop.
