www.machinerylubrication.com | September - October 2022 | 23 ML ML Stay Safe You may have heard a lot of these before, but they still ring true whether you're the oiler, the maintenance tech or just a helper. Safety should be a priority to each individual, not just each facility. I personally follow safety guidelines so that I stay healthy and fit to go do the things I love to do outside of work. I would hate to get hurt on the job and not be able to work or be there for my family if needed. So remember, when you are sitting in a long safety brief, that safety starts with you, and it is for you.
