• 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 to prevent them from tipping 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.
• 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.
• 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.
