responsibility. A safety checklist shall be used before a job gets underway. In addition, all supervisors
shall adhere to the following program.
a. Always be aware of potential hazards in the area.
b. Be sure that each painter understands and accepts personal responsibility for safety and is informed
of all safety rules.
c. Be sure that all safety measures have been taken before each work shift begins.
d. Insist that crewmembers work safely. Use disciplinary action in accordance with existing personnel
directives, if necessary.
e. Be sure that all equipment meets safety standards. Use non-sparking tools in fire-hazardous areas.
Anticipate possible risks with new types of equipment. Secure expert advice on potential hazards in
advance.
f. Encourage personnel to discuss the hazards in their work. No job shall proceed if any question about
safety remains unanswered. Be receptive to their ideas and suggestions; their field experience can be a
source of information that will help prevent accidents.
g. Set a good example for the crew by demonstrating safety awareness in personal work habits.
h. Ensure personnel are using the proper respiratory protection for the hazard. A false sense of security
can be created by using the wrong respirator. In addition, all personnel must be trained in how to wear

start of work.
