Equipment facilities and construction sites are inherently dangerous places with all types of noise, fumes, toxic materials, and vehicles. However, dangerous does not have to mean unsafe. Everyone involved in the equipment industry has a responsibility to maintain a working environment that is free from, "accidents waiting to happen." If a possible accident situation is recognizable, it can be avoided.
