Adding safety data to equipment

Add safety data to equipment to inform your employees of any hazardous situation that can cause bodily harm and of the precautions to take to protect themselves from these hazards. For example, you can add a precaution to turn equipment off and remove the power cord from the power outlet before performing repairs on electrical equipment. After adding the safety data, review and verify the record by clicking the Reviewed By icon. The review fields will be automatically populated after you review the record.
