• Supervise inexperienced workers at all times.
• Make sure your workers are thoroughly trained in equipment operation and safety.
• Keep all equipment in good repair.
• Warn workers of potential hazards and insist they use equipment safely.
• Only allow a worker to perform a task when you are confident they can handle it.
