Safety Tips By Area

Recycling

 * do not put monitors larger than 17" on top shelves

Receiving

 * Know your lifting ability. Monitors are often heavy; remember that it is ok to ask someone to help you.
 * Keep an eye on carts with monitors on the top level as they sometimes tip over, especially if they are too near the edge of the sidewalk.
 * Do not pack monitor gaylords alone, this is a 2 person job.
 * When cutting wire, particularly wallwarts, use insulated clippers.
 * Be careful when smashing printers. This is best done behind the row of gaylords while keeping an eye on the windows.


 * If you do get hurt, please inform a staff member immediately, even if it seems like something little. We just want to make sure you are ok.

Reception

 * keep objects out of pathway. i.e. free boxs under table need to be push back out of the way.
 * keep box lids tucked inside and out of path ways.
 * keep floor swept and free of objects to avoid slipping.

Between Here and There

 * keep sidewalk pathway clear of donated items and paper or other items that may cause slipping.
